DEARY — To say there was some motivation for the Troy boys basketball team was a bit of an understatement.

After getting beaten soundly Saturday by Lapwai, the Trojans wanted to come right back out Monday and show that they weren’t the same team that got clobbered by 75 to one of the best teams in the state.

Mission accomplished.

Noah Johnson finished with 18 points as Troy downed Deary 53-22 in a nonleague contest

“We got embarassed,” Trojans coach Trey Thatcher said. “We went out and played with no fire Saturday. There’s no shame in losing to Lapwai, but we needed to get our mojo back. I was really proud of the effort from our kids (in this one).”

Eli Stoner added 11 points for Troy (6-1), which raced out to a 17-2 advantage. Defense was the key.

“I think with our group, we pride ourselves play in the half court,” Thatcher said. “We did all of the little boring things.”

Tucker Ashmead had seven points for the Mustangs (6-4), who was without one of their top players in Kalab Rickard.

Lakeside 60, Colfax 58

COLFAX — The Bulldogs couldn’t convert their free-throw chances when they had the opportunities and dropped a nonleague decision to the Class 1A Eagles of Nine Mile Falls.

Colfax (11-2) went just 5-for-12 at the line overall, and was 1-for-6 in the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs were fouled with 1.1 seconds left and down by two. They missed the first free throw, so they had to miss the second, and an attempt to tip the ball into the basket failed.

“We just couldn’t knock down free throws or get stops when we needed them,” Colfax coach Reece Jenkin said.

Adam Edwards paced Lakeside (4-8) with 14 points, Sadahiro Patterson had 12 and Kole Hunsaker 11.

Seth Lustig had a game-high 24 points, adding six assists, for the Bulldogs. J.P. Wigen chipped in 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Deary 45, Troy 30

DEARY — The Mustangs got off to a bit of a slow start but got things headed in the right direction with a 30-16 run in the middle two quarters of a nonleague win against the Trojans.

“We finally got on a roll hitting baskets, but give credit to Troy and (coach) Guy Wells,” Deary coach Kendra Keen said. “They played a lot better than when we saw them earlier in the season.”

Triniti Wood had 11 points to pace the Mustangs (9-0). Kenadie Kirk chipped in 10 points and 10 rebounds. Araya Wood finished with 10 points and eight steals.
