PREP BOYS BASKETBALL: Wildcats win the game; Lumberjacks keep the Ball

ST. MARIES — Toby Colburn blazed a trail for the Kellogg Wildcats, finishing with 21 points, seven rebounds and seven assists as the Wildcats clipped the St. Maries Lumberjacks 54-52 in the Brawl for the Ball spirit game on Saturday night.

Lumberjacks junior guard Jake Sieler hit a 3-pointer with 13 seconds left cut the lead to 54-52,

St. Maries, the top-ranked team in this week’s state 2A prep boys basketball media poll, fouled a Kellogg player, who missed both ensuing free throws. With one second left, a Lumberjacks player drove the lane and got a shot off at the buzzer. But an offensive foul was called on St. Maries.

Kellogg is third in the state 3A boys poll.

“It was a fun atmosphere,” St. Maries coach Bryan Chase said. “There were 1,200 fans and the game was super close the entire way. It went back and forth.”

St. Maries won the Ball trophy.

The Lumberjacks (15-2) shot 10 for 20 from free-throw line and committed 14 turnovers. Kiefer Gibson had 13 points, seven rebounds and three steals.

On Tuesday. Kellogg (12-3) plays at Priest River, while St. Maries plays at Coeur d’Alene Charter.
