EASTERN IDAHO — The winter sports season met its official end Monday night with the District 5 senior showcase All-Star game.
Twenty-eight girls and 31 boys representing schools from across southeast Idaho met at Pocatello for a night that featured a pair of games, girls’ 3-point shooting competition and boys’ slam-dunk contest.
Malad’s Izzy Haycock edged out Marsh Valley’s Tayzlee Belnap in a triple-overtime sudden-death round of the 3-point contest, and Preston’s Kasen Bryce bested Grace’s Parker Yost for the title of D5’s best dunker.
While winter sport championship banners are being prepped and hung in gyms across the state, baseball and softball teams have taken the field for the launch of the spring season.
