Did You Know?
One Division I program carries college tennis across the whole of Southeast Idaho — and Idaho’s high school format is unlike any of its neighbors. Two highlights:
Idaho State is the region’s lone four-year program, playing indoors at Reed Gym. Its women were 2024 Big Sky regular-season champions, while BYU-Idaho and the College of Eastern Idaho field no varsity tennis at all.
Idaho plays boys and girls in one spring season. That is what makes its Mixed Doubles state title possible — a boy and a girl paired together, an event most states simply do not have.
Southeast Idaho High School Tennis
Every public high school across the area’s communities — from Pocatello and Chubbuck out to Blackfoot, American Falls and the Portneuf Valley — competing in the Idaho High School Activities Association (IHSAA). Most play in District V, while Blackfoot competes in District VI, with all advancing to the state tournament.
Pocatello High School
PocatelloThe Thunder — the oldest of Pocatello’s three public high schools (the mascot was changed from the “Indians” in 2021) — competing in IHSAA District V.
Highland High School

Century High School
ChubbuckThe Diamondbacks, opened in 1999 on the Chubbuck / north Pocatello side, the district’s third high school in IHSAA District V.

Blackfoot High School

Idaho is unusual: boys and girls compete in the same spring season, which is exactly why the state crowns a Mixed Doubles champion alongside boys’ and girls’ singles and doubles — five titles per classification. Southeast Idaho programs run mostly through District V, with Blackfoot competing to the north in District VI.
