KELLOGG WRESTLING 

3A State Wrestling Tournament 

NAMPA – The Wildcats finished second as a team and Kellogg junior Colton Storey won his second straight state title, beating Jack Willie of Malad by pin 3:28 into the 113-pound final. 

Freshman Nayton O’Neill (fourth at 106), sophomore Lowden White (sixth at 106), junior Kevin Watson (third at 113), senior Johnny Stovern (fourth at 120), sophomore Carsun Hinkelmann (third at 126), senior Chase Scribner (second at 144), senior Jayce Haynes (third at 150) and senior A.J. Peak (fifth at 215) also placed for the Wildcats, who finished second with 176 points. 

Junior Kelby Harvey (champion at 144), senior Zach David (champion at 150) and senior Aiden Yearout (second at 165) led St. Maries, which finished tied with New Plymouth for third with 122 points. 

Harvey also beat Scribner for the District 1-2 title on Feb. 21 at St. Maries High. 

“I just flipped the switch and started putting in the extra work this year,” Harvey said. “Being in the wrestling room with my community was a big impact on me this year.” 

It is St. Maries’ first team trophy since 1994, when the Lumberjacks also finished third. 

“It’s a great group of kids,” St. Maries coach Dennis Humphrey said. “The work they’ve done is incredible. It’s so tough for teams like Kellogg and us to compete with the teams down here because of their size. For us to both finish in the top three, It’s incredible.” 

Senior Amado Stewart was fourth at 157, senior Zack Sotin sixth at 190 and senior Rustle Brusseau sixth at 215 for St. Maries. Lakeside senior Julian Moffitt was third at 190. 

Malad won with 264.5 points.

Orofino 54 Kellogg 40 

OROFINO — After the third-seeded Wildcats cut the deficit to 28-26 early in the third quarter, the secondseeded Maniacs pulled away with a 24-5 run, highlighted by four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, in the firstround game of the 3A District 1-2 tournament. 

“We were 4 for 24 from 3, and our shot selection in the second half was not great,” Kellogg coach Mike Martin said. “We just pressed a little too much trying to get a spark, and that just played into what they want to do; they want to play fast.” 

Draeden Taylor, Ty Cheney and Evan Vindasius scored six points each for Kellogg. 

Blake Barlow scored 15 points, Quinton Naranjo 10 for Orofino. 

“We knew coming in that we were going to have to win two games this week,” Martin said. “This doesn’t change our outlook; we still have an opportunity to get to state.”

KELLOGG — Junior Porter Lewis hit a 3-pointer late in the third quarter to spark a 22-6 run for the third-seeded Wildcats, who eliminated the fourth-seeded Spartans in a 3A District 1 loser-out game at Andrews Gymnasium. 

“Priest River came ready to go,” Kellogg coach Mike Martin said. “They had some guys that hit some shots and were playing as well as they have all year. Our guys just never wavered and stayed the course and started knocking down some shots.” 

Junior Evan Vindasius scored 16 points and senior Cayden Honnerlaw added 13 points for Kellogg, which outscored Priest River 18-7 down the stretch. 

Senior Brady Hatten scored 16 points for Priest River, which finishes 5-15.

Kellogg 44 Orofino 47 

OROFINO — Kellogg’s bid to qualify for state for the first time since 2023 ended in heartbreaking fashion Friday night. 

The third-seeded Wildcats pulled even with the second-seeded Wildcats at 44 with just under two minutes left, only to see Orofino junior Blake Barlow hit a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left, lifting the Maniacs to a victory in the 3A District 1-2 tournament second-place game. 

“That’s a tough locker room to go into,” sixth-year Kellogg coach Mike Martin said. “You play well, give yourself a chance to get to the state tournament. But real proud of them. Honestly, we played them better tonight defensively than when we beat them at our place.” 

Orofino advances to state at Meridian High beginning Thursday. Kellogg finishes 12-12. 

An inside basket by Kellogg senior Cayden Honnerlaw with 1:46 left tied the game at 44. Orofino missed a shot, and Kellogg committed a turnover, before the Maniacs passed the ball around the perimeter until Barlow found just enough room to connect from just right of the top of the key. 

It was only the third 3 of the night for Orofino, which was led by senior Nick Bonner’s 16 points. Barlow, a junior, finished with 13. 

Kellogg missed a corner 3 in the waning seconds. 

Honnerlaw finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds for Kellogg. After the Wildcats gave up four points on one possession (a basket, a foul on Kellogg away from the ball, and another basket by Orofino), Honnerlaw answered with a three-point play to tie it at 42. 

“lt looked like he was playing at a different speed; felt he was getting to a lot of loose balls,” Martin said. 

Kellogg senior Radley McDonald, who returned to action this week after suffering a torn ACL in June, scored all seven of his points in the third quarter. 

“He had his fingerprints all over the second half,” Martin said.  

Senior Draeden Taylor added 11 points for Kellogg.
