POST FALLS — Junior Ayson McCluskie scored 16 points as the Genesis Prep Jaguars won a league game for the first time since the 2019 season, beating the Wallace Miners 63-39 in the Scenic Idaho Conference opener for both teams Saturday night at The Courts at Real Life.

McCluskie scored 11 of his points in the second quarter for Genesis Prep (6-7), which pulled away in the second half after leading 21-18 at halftime.

Joey Specht added 12 points for the Jaguars, Donovan Daniels 10, and Caleb Schroeder had eight points and 10 rebounds.

“We were just able to settle down and play some better defense,” Genesis Prep coach Lon Morast said of the second half. “Caleb Schroeder played well all-around; he played most of the positions tonight at some point. McCluskie gave us a much-needed lift by being aggressive defensively, and putting the ball in the hole when we needed some baskets.”

Genesis Prep went 0-4 in the Scenic Idaho Conference last season. In 2019-20, the Jaguars played as an independent.

Luke Hull scored 16 points for Wallace (3-5), which had its game at Priest River on Tuesday postponed due to COVID issues with Priest River. The Miners are slated to return to action Feb. 1 at home vs. Clark Fork.

Genesis Prep is scheduled to play at Lakeside on Tuesday in Scenic Idaho Conference play.

Clark Fork 40

Kootenai 17

HARRISON FLATS — Three players reached double figures to help Clark Fork secure the top seed to the 1A Division II District 1 title game.

The Wampus Cats blew past Kootenai to finish 2-0 in North Star League play.

With Mullan not fielding a varsity team this season, Clark Fork and Kootenai are the only two teams in the North Star League eligible to play for a berth to state.

Clark Fork led 18-6 at the half and held the Warriors to a single point in the second quarter.

"All of our girls got to play at least a full quarter tonight, which was really cool," Clark Fork coach Jordan Adams said.

The team played without starter Paige Valliere.

Lilly Reuter scored a team-high 15 points on five 3-pointers, Katelyn Matteson tallied 12 and Hannah Thompson added 10.

Clark Fork beat Kootenai 42-10 on Jan. 14 at Clark Fork.

Clark Fork (3-8, 2-0 NSL) heads to Kellogg JV at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Kootenai travels to Mullan on Thursday.
