3A All-Idaho boys basketball team | 2021
Note: The All-Idaho teams are chosen by each classification’s coaches. The Idaho Statesman hosts the voting process and publishes the results.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: DJ GREEN, MCCALL-DONNELLY
Why he is player of the year: The Vandals mounted the best season in program history, finishing second at state behind the 6-foot junior point guard. He took over the state tournament, averaging 24.6 points and 5.3 rebounds after averaging 17.2 points and 5.8 rebounds for the season.
Coach’s comment: “DJ’s best games were when the lights were the brightest. His creativity and competitiveness went to another level during the (state) tournament, and he led a team that had really never been in the conversation to a state championship game,” McCall-Donnelly coach Jason Tinney said.
What others are saying: “He was a game changer for his team. He could get to the rim well and could shoot from outside,” Sugar-Salem coach Shawn Freeman said.
What’s next: He will return for his senior season.
HYRUM LINDSEY, FRUITLAND
A repeat first-team selection, the 6-5 senior forward averaged a double-double of 20.2 points and 11.8 rebounds. But he was no volume scorer, shooting 52% from the floor and adding 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals as a force that kept opposing coaches awake at night.
MITCH LINDSAY, SNAKE RIVER
The 6-3 senior guard was a team leader and a knockdown shooter for the Panthers. He racked up 14.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. But what was most impressive was his efficiency, shooting 52% from the floor, 39% behind the arc and 82% at the free-throw line.
BRACKEN HOWELL, MARSH VALLEY
The Eagles brought home their first state championship since 1988 in large part to the 5-10 senior. A team-first guard, he fit into Marsh Valley’s system and finished the year averaging 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
NOAH WATT, SNAKE RIVER
The senior point guard stands only 5-8. But he stretches defenses to their breaking point with his range well beyond the 3-point line. He sank 70-of-178 3-pointers (39%) and shot 86% at the free-throw line to rack up 13.9 points per game.
COACH OF THE YEAR: KENT HOWELL, MARSH VALLEY
After leading the Eagles to a state baseball title in 2019, he added another one in basketball.
