“I knew we had the capabilities to play that well,” said Rick Wilcox, the Asotin coach. “It was just a matter of finding the confidence to do that.”

The Idaho Permanent Building Fund Advisory Council decided Friday at Lewiston that if no additional money is made available, no new state building construction or major improvements can be funded.

Council members agreed that the state building budget of about $6.2 million isn’t enough money to do more than pay for maintenance of state buildings.

The council decided that the money available in fiscal year 1986, beyond the need for maintenance, should go to constructing a Psychiatric Unit at State Hospital South at Blackfoot.
