DEARY - St. Maries sophomore guard Dakota Wilson hit the go-ahead free throw with six seconds remaining, lifting the top-seeded Lumberjacks past the third-seeded Orofino Maniacs 51-50 in the championship game of the 2A District 1-2 tournament on Tuesday at Deary High.

St. Maries (16-4) advances to the state 2A tournament starting next Thursday at 2 p.m. PST at Capital High in Boise, opening with Declo. It is the first state appearance for St. Maries since the 2011-12 season, the school's final season at the 3A classification.

Wilson's second attempt went off the rim, and a putback by Lumberjack Logan Feasline also came up short, forcing a last-second heave from Orofino that missed at the buzzer.

"It was really a back and forth game," St. Maries coach Bryan Chase said. "We were up 33-24 at halftime, and it turned into a track meet in the fourth."

Matt Smith had 14 points, 10 rebounds and four assists, Logan Feasline scored 12 points and AJ Becktel had 10 points, five blocks and three steals for St. Maries.

Hayden Wilson scored 20 points for Orofino (14-8), which faces Grangeville in a loser-out game tonight at 6 p.m.
