[11] Additionally, it includes the rural Yale area in the panhandle of southeastern Blaine County. [12] The Blaine district pays money to the Minidoka district to send the Yale students to Minidoka schools. [13]

[20] It was the third time the Spartans were one run short in the state championship game.

[22] [23] [24] The 2000 team made the A-1 final, but fell 4–3 to Timberline of Boise in 11 innings. Baseball coach Ben Frank's teaching position (biology) at MHS was one of 19 eliminated in budget cuts by the school district in 2012. In ten seasons as head coach (2003–12), he had a 221–76 (.744) record, with seven 4A state tournament trophies, including two state titles (2005, 2009). [25] [26]
