PREP ROUNDUP: Post Falls boys fall victim to talented Bothell squad
* BOYS BASKETBALL
BOTHELL, Wash. - Zach LaVine, a 6-foot-3 guard who has signed with UCLA, scored a game-high 20 points to lead the Bothell Cougars past the Post Falls Trojans 77-50 in a nonleague game on Friday night.
"Bothell is without a doubt the best high school basketball team I've ever seen," Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. "LaVine is a legit player and could be one and done at UCLA. This Bothell team was something else."
Perrion Callandret, a 6-2 point guard who has signed with Idaho, and Josh Martin, a 6-8 junior forward who has an offer from Washington, had 19 points each for Bothell (12-0).
Dalton Thompson scored 12 points for Post Falls (5-5), which faces Inglemoor High today in Kenmore, Wash.
"It probably took us a quarter to adjust to their speed and athleticism," McLean said. "If we could have made some layups, it would have been a closer game. It was a great experience to play against that kind of team. It was a great experience that's going to make us better."
Post Falls 12 10 15 10 - 50
Bothell 24 29 16 8 - 77
POST FALLS - Hall 0, McKeown 0, Davenport 0, Pfennigs 2, Jackson 5, Hillman 8, Mueller 5, Conger 2, Thompson 12, Corr 7, Koski 9.
BOTHELL - Callandret 19, Martin 19, Wilks 4, LaVine 20, Cussac 3, Curtright 0, Webster 6, Fisherkeller 2, Bowers 2, Wilson 2.
