PREP BOYS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: McCullough helps Post Falls speed past East Valley
POST FALLS - Max McCullough scored 20 points and Jake Blakney had nine points and eight rebounds to lead the Post Falls Trojans past the East Valley Knights 86-55 in a nonleague game on Thursday at The Arena.
"Because I'm asking them to play as fast as we can go, some teams don't have the depth to play like that and East Valley was physically exhausted by the second half," Post Falls coach Mike McLean said.
Jack Millsap had 11 points and six rebounds for Post Falls (5-0), which hosts Lakeland in the Prairie Pig spirit game tonight at 7:30 at The Arena.
