The senior guard hit 8 of 15 3-pointers in three games, and averaged 2.9 steals and nearly 6 rebounds a game as the Trojans opened their season with three wins to capture the Ridley's Christmas Tournament last weekend at Middleton High. "I'm very pleased with Isaac. Isaac is a big piece of our puzzle thins year," Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. "Isaac is a key player for us — not only shooting, but defensively, when we face a little bigger guard, Isaac can hang with him, and make a contribution on both ends of the court."
