Deary High principal and athletic director Darrah Eggers thought he had left football coaching behind for good when he resigned as the school’s head coach in 2010 following his youngest son’s graduation. He had coached 18 seasons in all — four at Clearwater Valley, then 14 more at Deary — before announcing his retirement, leaving the head coach position to his erstwhile assistant, Doug Henderson, who would helm the program for the next six years. When Henderson accepted a job at Moscow this year, however, Eggers knew his duty. ...

Moscow School District plans to hire another sixth-grade teacher to keep up with increased enrollment at Moscow Middle School. After about five years of enrollment decreases and one year of stagnant numbers, the district’s enrollment increased this year by about 30 from last year’s 2,236 students. Enrollment steadily increased during the summer, then jumped up in the past couple weeks. ... Whether a pocket park or affordable housing will end up on city-owned property between Lilly and Asbury streets in Moscow could be decided by pending environmental assessments. The city purchased two parcels of land between Lilly and Asbury streets in the former railroad corridor from Columbia Grain in 2010 for $73,200. The original intent was to place a pocket park there, as well as use the railroad right of way to form a pathway linking that side of Moscow to the University of Idaho.
