25 local girls basketball players, 5 coaches get All-State nods

EASTERN IDAHO — Three championship banners were brought back to eastern Idaho by girls basketball teams this year, with Rockland, Sugar-Salem and Pocatello each claiming their respective classification’s title.

This week, All-State selections were named and the recognition continued to pour in for those schools and others.

District 5-6 schools dominated the 4A classification, with seven players selected among the 10 All-State teams spots — three of which coming from the undefeated state champion Sugar-Salem. And the Pocatello Thunder, who claimed their program’s first ever state championship, had its top two performers named First-Team All-State players, joined by Idaho’s all-time leading scorer, Skyline star Shay Shippen.

Across all six classifications, 25 D5-6 players were named All-State performers, and five local coaches were named Coach of the Year.
