Ex-Post Falls High star Reid leaving Montana St.

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - Montana State officials said two men's basketball players are leaving the team.

Former Post Falls High standout Shawn Reid told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle he asked for and was granted his release from the program. The forward will leave the school at the end of the spring semester.

Reid said neither his role nor the team's 23-35 record over the past two seasons were primary factors in his decision. He averaged 10.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in earning honorable mention all-Big Sky Conference honors this season.

He said the decision was "more just based on my happiness." He said he's looking for another school where he can play basketball.

Reid's high school teammate Marcus Colbert, who recently finished his prep career with Post Falls, signed with Montana State earlier this year.

MSU officials also confirmed that former walk-on guard Tor Anderson is leaving the program.
