PREP ROUNDUP: Jags win, then a fan loses it

| January 23, 2021 1:20 AM

• BOYS BASKETBALL

POST FALLS — It was over.

Genesis Prep coach Jeff Hironaka saluted Wallace coach Corey Miller and started toward the locker room celebrating the program’s first Scenic Idaho Conference win.

A few minutes later, it was the Miners that were celebrating.

Carter Bailey hit two technical free throws with no time remaining after a Genesis Prep fan was given an unsportsmanlike conduct technical foul, allowing the Miners to claim a 46-45 win over the Jaguars at The Courts at Real Life on Friday night.

Bailey had missed a go-ahead 3-pointer as time expired. As the teams were leaving the court, officials called the technical and asked both teams to return to the court.

“It was tough for the kids,” Hironaka said. “We were in the locker room celebrating a win, then were told to come back out and we walked back into the locker room as losers. It’s tough because it’s not like the kids did anything to take away from it. We were 6 of 15 from the free-throw line and could have had some cushion. Our kids competed and I feel bad for them. There was nothing I could say to boost their spirits.”

“It was the weirdest ending to a game that I’ve ever been a part of,” Miller said. “Big props to Carter. He had to sit out there by himself forever and make those shots. It was awesome for him.”

Caleb Schroeder scored 13 points, Nathan Weeks and Ayson McLuskie had 10 points each for Genesis Prep (2-6, 0-2 SIC), which faces Lakeside next Friday at The Courts.

Bailey scored 18 points for Wallace (2-8, 1-1), which travels to Mullan on Tuesday.

PLUMMER — Missing three starters for the second time this week, sophomore Vander Brown made the most of his time running the Knight offense, accounting for 23 points, 11 assists and nine steals for the Knights in a win over the Trojans at Ron Miller Court.

JJ Hall had 21 points, 11 assists and five steals for Lakeside (11-1).

“Those two really stepped up and they’re the veterans in our group now,” Lakeside coach James Twoteeth said. “Both of them were really good in the press. They lead by example and the others follow. We couldn’t make a shot in the first quarter, but those guys (Vander and JJ) got to work on the press. When we get those other guys back, hopefully Vander gets some confidence and keeps it going.”

Lakeside is scheduled to play at Kellogg on Monday.

Coeur d’Alene goes 3-0 to

start at Clearwater Classic

LEWISTON — Due to illness and injuries in some spots, the Vikings are giving up some points in a few weight classes at the Clearwater Classic at Lewiston High.

But the kids that are competing, they are getting them back in bunches.

Coeur d’Alene defeated Orofino 66-6, Moscow 66-24 and Potlatch 70-12 to open 3-0 in its Pod, with a dual today against Weiser remaining. The top two teams from each pod advance to the Gold (championship) Bracket.

“It’s tough and Weiser has a full team, so that’s going to be a tough matchup,” Coeur d’Alene coach Jeff Moffat said. “But the matches we’re in, the kids were aggressive and finding ways to get wins. With the way the season is going, we’ve had a hard time finding different people to wrestle. We’re just finding someone different to scrap with, and the kids need matches.”

St. Maries went 1-1 on the day, losing to Clearwater Valley and beating Sandpoint. The Lumberjacks will face Kellogg and Lewiston to conclude the pod round today.
