n WRESTLING
BOISE — When a dual with Borah High fell through a couple of weeks ago, the Post Falls High got a little excited when they heard who they’d be facing instead.
The Trojans picked up pins in six weights in beat the two-time state 5A champion Centennial Patriots 60-21 in a dual on Thursday night at Centennial High.
“We’d really been chomping at the bit to face them,” Post Falls coach Pete Reardon said. “The kids have really been looking forward to it. It felt good to get a solid win against them.”
Post Falls competes in the annual Rollie Lane Invitational starting today at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa.

BOISE — Max McCullough scored a game-high 31 points to lead the Trojans past the Mustangs in the opening game of the Centennial High New Year’s tournament at CenturyLink Arena.
Post Falls (10-1) lost to Wilson (Ore.) in the championship game of the three-day Coeur d’Alene Inn-vitational on Wednesday, then traveled via bus to the Boise area immediately after that game for Thursday’s 5:30 p.m. PST tipoff.
“I thought we responded well,” Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. “We got ourselves prepared to play. I wasn’t happy with the guys in the first half. Our defense wasn’t what it should have been. We made some adjustments in the second half and we got them tired.”
Post Falls outscored Eagle 35-22 in the second half to pull away with the win after scoring 32 points in the second quarter.
Dalton Thompson scored 11 points, Jake Blakney had seven points and six rebounds and Jack Millsap had 15 points and six rebounds for Post Falls, which faces Pocatello today at 4 p.m. PST.
