RATHDRUM — Jonny Hillman and Kon Ajang scored 15 points each for the top-seeded Jaguars in a 83-32 win over the fourth-seeded Wampus Cats in the 1A Division II District 1 tournament Wednesday night at Lakeland High School.
Smith Mwinuka scored 13 points for defending state champion Genesis Prep (18-4), which faces Lakeside in the championship game on Friday at 4 p.m. at Lakeland High.
Wade Stevens scored 14 points and three rebounds, Kobe Banks added 11 points, five rebounds and five blocks, and Josh Constantin pulled down five rebounds for Clark Fork, which finished the season with a 3-11 record. The Wampus Cats had only five players suit up, making for tough sledding against the Jags, who figure to be in the mix to defend their state title.
