ST. MARIES — Sophomore Madden Redinger drained two 3-pointers en route to a team-high 12 points, fellow sophomore Jacob Best registered a 3-pointer of his own and scored six of his eight points in the second quarter, and the pair both had two steals as the No. 4 Spartans fell to the No. 1 Lumberjacks in 3A District 1-2 tournament first round action on Monday night at St. Maries High.

Junior Ayson Simcox also had a 3-pointer and had all seven of his points in the second half, senior Brady Hatten recorded seven points and a team-high nine rebounds, and sophomore Matthew Willyard hit a 3-pointer for Priest River, which was without leading scorer Ian Lammana on the night and fell behind 21-5 after one quarter of action.

J.J. Yearout, who recently eclipsed the 1,000-point milestone, finished with 16 points, six assists and five steals and Isaiah Gustaffe had all 15 of his points in the first half for St. Maries (17-3), which led 39-19 at intermission and will host No. 2 Orofino (17-4) for the 3A District 1-2 championship game tonight. The Maniacs beat No. 3 Kellogg (11-11) by a score of 54-40 to advance to the title match.

"We tried a little different defensive strategy on Yearout and held him to 16," Priest River High head coach Brian Hall said of his Spartans' box-and-one approach. "Unfortunately, they have a great supporting cast in Gustaffe and Jack Barta."

Sophomore Wyatt Barth grabbed two steals of his own and senior Lucas Mathews, Hatten and Redinger all dished out two assists apiece for Priest River (6-14), which will travel to Kellogg tonight for a 3A District 1-2 loser-out game.
