BOYS BASKETBALL
GAME OF THE NIGHT
Madison 78, Rigby 76 (OT)
With Madison holding a 69-68 lead with just 10.2 seconds to play, Madison fans had to be feeling okay about their team’s chances to hold on and win. Rigby had just turned the ball over on an offensive foul, and as long as Madison made their free throws, a tough win would be earned. However, at the play’s conclusion, Madison’s Wayd Bailey was assessed a technical foul for slamming the ball in celebration. Isaac Sautter made one-of-two free throws for Rigby, and the game went to overtime. In OT, the Bobcats nudged ahead 76-74 with 16 seconds remaining. Rigby’s Connor Davenport was fouled on a drive to the basket, and made both foul shots with 7.9 seconds to go, tying the game at 76-76. At the other end, Madison’s Nash Humpherys wasted no time getting to the paint, drawing a foul with 3.4 seconds remaining. Humpherys made both free throws, leaving Rigby trailing 78-76. A full-court pass was intercepted by Madison, and the Bobcats students rushed the court following the dramatic win.
PRIME-TIME PERFORMER
Priest River went to Central Idaho League rival St. Maries and earned a 54-44 win. It marked the first win for the Spartans over St. Maries since 2011. Nate Stifel led the way for Priest River, logging a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds.

GAME OF THE NIGHT

In a game that was streamed on IdahoSports.com, Kamiah (9-2 WPL, 13-3 overall) snuck out a win at Lapwai (8-2 WPL, 12-3 overall) as Emma Krogh hit a three with just 20 seconds remaining.

PRIME-TIME PERFORMER
Dietrich swarmed Richfield in a 1A Sawtooth Conference battle, winning 37-19. Paje Van Tassell’s surface stats look fairly modest: five points, three rebounds, two assists. But Van Tassell came away with eight steals in the win as well, which then allowed her to set up others on fast break opportunities.
