ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Owen Smith, Coeur d'Alene High School

Owen Smith

Coeur d'Alene High

The 6-foot-2 senior forward scored nine of his 13 points in the first quarter as Coeur d'Alene beat visiting Post Falls for the first time in five years, 49-42 in 5A Inland Empire League boys basketball Saturday. "A lot of people overlook Owen," Coeur d'Alene coach Jon Adams said. "Owen is that guy that every coach wants on his team because he could care less about stats … he does all the dirty work. But, he’s also a very talented scorer. He’s aggressive, he’s a good rebounder and he’s a great defender. So, you overlook Owen and that’s what happens. He can really play. He was a huge spark for us."
