Decision imminent for York
Offensive tackle Carson York (6-5, 270, 5.2) from Coeur d'Alene (Idaho) Lake City is unique indeed. Though northwest Idaho isn't thought of a football hotbed, this recruiting season York has made Lake City high school a destination point for many college schools this spring.
