Early game recaps – Eagle/Cd’A & Timb/Cent

Coeur d’Alene defeats Eagle

We expected the winning team to exploit mismatches. We just didn’t expect it to be these two. While Coeur d’Alene solved the size problem, not letting Eagle’s Gillmor and Shaw dominate inside, and Eagle did a decent job of containing Cd’A’s Watson (he was definitely the most athletic player on the floor), it was the Viking’s Matheson and Barraco that were the difference makers.

5A District III Championship Game

When you look back at the 5A District III title game, two things that may have seemed to be small pieces to this game’s puzzle were possibly the biggest factors of all.

First, Borah’s Austin Scott was not in the line up. Second, Centennial’s Nick Saras would match up on defense with Borah’s biggest offensive threat, Ben Tucakovic.

Scott not in the lineup had a trickle down effect on the Lions. With him out, sixth . . . → Read More: 5A District III Championship Game
