EASTERN IDAHO — The Christmas break has arrived, meaning no Idaho high school sports for a while.

Among the pared-down schedule over the final weekend of action before the break, the Highland Rams beat the crosstown rival Pocatello Thunder inside a packed and rocking Highland High School gym. The Idaho State men’s basketball ball team also played its final game before Christmas, battling back against but eventually falling to the UC Davis Aggies.

Here are some of our favorite pictures from that action:
