3A All-Idaho boys basketball team | 2023-2024
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: ASHER WILLIAMS, BONNERS FERRY
The pick: A player of the year last season after leading the Badgers to their first state championship game, the 6-5 junior guard repeats in the top spot after carrying Bonners Ferry to its first title. He averaged a 3A-leading 28.4 points per game, shooting 58% from the floor, and added 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
Coach’s comment: “His hard work and attention to detail has been contagious the past couple years, which has been fun to be a part of,” Bonners Ferry coach Nathan Williams said.
What others are saying: “Asher led his team to the title by playing the right way, whether that be facilitating for his teammates or by asserting himself as a scorer when necessary,” McCall-Donnelly coach Jason Tinney said.
What’s next: He’ll return for his senior season.

LUKE HIGGINSON, SNAKE RIVER
A repeat first-team pick, the 6-2 senior guard continued to terrorize defenses. He averaged 21.2 points per game while shooting 51% from the floor. But he was no one-trick pony. He also added 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks per night as an all-around threat.
MARCUS COOMBS, SNAKE RIVER
A second-team pick last year, the 6-6 junior forward moves up to the first team. He is the first player in Panther history to top 1,000 career points as a junior. His inside-outside game made him a matchup nightmare and led to 18.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
TYSON BROWN, TETON
The 6-5 senior center’s size, strength and athleticism made him a monster on the glass. He led the classification with 10.6 rebounds per night. He also added 15.2 points per game, averaging a double-double to lead the Timberwolves to their first state championship game since 1997.
KASEN HAMMOND, KIMBERLY
Once known as a sharpshooter, the 6-5 senior forward added to his game until he became a threat all over the floor with his soft hands and determination. He posted 15.1 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, leading the Bulldogs to the state consolation trophy.
COACH OF THE YEAR: NATHAN WILLIAMS, BONNERS FERRY
After four straight trips to state, the fourth-year coach led the Badgers to that elusive first championship.
