PREP BOYS BASKETBALL: St. Maries bounces back

ST. MARIES — Tristun Hill had six points, four blocks and four rebounds, and his defense on Carter Mundt earned praise from St. Maries coach Bryan Chase after the Lumberjacks beat the Grangeville Bulldogs 56-21 on Saturday in Central Idaho League play.

“Tristun did a real good job staying in front of him, and blocking some shots early on,” Chase said.

Trace Wicks made 4 of 6 3-pointers in the middle two quarters and scored 14 points, and Dillon Holder added 12 points and three steals for St. Maries (5-3, 2-1 SIC), which was coming off losses to Bonners Ferry and Kellogg.

“It’s been a while since we lost a couple games in a row, and Ithink they took it out on Grangeville,” Chase said.

Grangeville is 2-10, 0-3.

St. Maries travels to Orofino on Thursday.

PLUMMER — It took a little longer than senior Vander Brown might have wanted, but he reached the 1,000-point plateau for his Knight career in the third quarter at Ron Miller Court.

“He was really thinking about it all day,” Lakeside coach James Twoteeth said. “He was missing some open shots and was pressing a little, but once he calmed down he got there.”

Brown had 21 points and eight assists, Liam Hendrickx scored 22 for the Knights against the Vikings.

“We usually like to speed teams up, but they handled our press pretty well,” Twoteeth said. “But we were able to play a good half-court game and hit a lot of jumpers.”
