SUGAR CITY, Idaho (KIFI) - Friday night in Sugar City, Century and Sugar-Salem square off in the first Sports Line Game of the Week in the 2023 high school football season.

It's the only matchup this week featuring two East Idaho teams, and kickoff between Century and Sugar-Salem is set for 7:00 p.m.
