From Capital High School, Kamiah and New Plymouth squared off in the first semi-final game and it was a great one. The fans were in to it and both teams brought out the best in each other. For New Plymouth, it was the White brothers that were the key to early first half success. The younger of the two, Chase, was hitting outside bombs while the older brother, Carson, was playing great defense. Kamiah was . . . → Read More: Kamiah keeps it rolling, moves to the state finals In the final 4A game of the day from the Borah Sports Complex, Rigby showed why they are a top ranked team in the state. Rigby is big from the point to the post and their size advantage got even bigger five minutes into the first quarter when Jerome’s big man, Jake Hollifield, went down with an ankle injury. Initially, Jerome looked like they were going to hang around. Garret Leavitt and Shaquille Kennedy kept . . . → Read More: Rigby ready for the semi-finals Game #3 at the Idaho Center was a roller coaster ride between Post Falls and Centennial. It was clear that Post Falls was the more comfortable team at the start. Marcus Colbert showed why Montana State signed him earlier this year. He’s a total floor general with vision and swagger. And running mates Luke Thoreson and Michael Hillman pitched in to keep things balanced. By halftime, Post Falls had built a 28-16 lead, thanks to . . . → Read More: Colbert keeps Post Falls in it, moves them to the semis Game 2 at the Idaho Center matched Timberline and Highland. Timberline’s Jack Tate paced the Wolves and showed a few things that we haven’t seen this season. He was scoring off the drive (as expected) but also hitting the 15 footer. For Highland, Clark Wilkinson and Austin Andreasen led the way for the Rams. Wilkinson, though struggling from the line, was a force in the pain and Andreasen showed athleticism from the guard position. It . . . → Read More: Timberline takes down Highland 
From the Idaho Center, Borah and Coeur d’Alene tipped off the 5A Boys State Tournament. Cd’A jumped out to a 15-5 first quarter lead. But behind a rally led by Isaiah Wright, Borah tied the game at 20 heading into half.

It was a very good high school atmosphere from Rocky Mountain High School for the District III 5A title game between Borah and Mountain View. A very good crowd watched the District III 5A title game Friday night at Rocky Mountain High School Borah came out fired up while Mountain View seemed a little timid. Borah quickly got out to an 11-0 start before Mountain View was able to get their feet under them. . . . → Read More: Borah beats Mountain View in District III title game In the first semi-final game, Borah and Eagle weren’t exactly tearing up the nets. But it definitely had the intense atmosphere of a playoff game and clearly both teams desperately wanted the win. And after four quarters it was locked up at 37 each and overtime was needed. Overtime was back and forth. It came down to a last second shot for Borah. You can see it below. The Lions move on to the . . . → Read More: Borah, Mountain View on their way to state 
Game #2 didn’t start much better than the first game, with both teams – Eagle and Timberline – preferring to spend the first quarter getting a feel for each other. Eagle started in a 1-2-2 zone that looked like a match up hybrid. Their guards are quick with good lateral movement so it does a pretty good job of locking down the top of Timberline’s offense. Jackson Reed did a good job of finding gaps . . . → Read More: Satchwell shoots Eagle in to the semis 
At Rocky Mountain for the first district tournament game, the biggest fear for a #1 seed is that they will come out flat. For Borah, that fear became a reality. If you didn’t know where these teams were seeded in the SIC, you might think this was the #4 vs. #5 match up when the game started. Vallivue’s 2-3 zone caused problems for Borah, who struggled to find and make open shots. But their size . . . → Read More: Borah and Vallivue open the 5A SIC District Tournament 
In an important match up between two top teams in the boys 5A SIC, Centennial and Boise were in a defensive battle Tuesday night. Both teams will be in the district tournament but the winner would take a substantial leap forward. After four full quarters, the teams were tied at 35 points. And despite it being senior night for the Patriots, it was a junior that would ultimately make the difference in overtime.
