1A Division I 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: KASE WYNOTT, LAPWAI
The pick: Idaho’s all-time leading scorer (2,962 points) makes the all-state first team for a fourth time, and he was the unanimous pick to repeat as player of the year. He averaged 36.0 points per game, fifth in the nation, while shooting 66% from the floor. He added 13.9 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 2.9 steals and 3.0 blocks per game, too.
Coach’s comment: “He is a competitor and will do whatever he has to do to win a basketball game,” Lapwai coach Zachary Eastman said.
What others are saying: “You can make a compelling argument that Kase Wynott is the best player in the state regardless of classification, and has been for a couple years,” Liberty Charter coach Seth Stallcop said.
What’s next: He reopened his recruitment after Utah State’s coach left.

TYSON CHARLEY, LAKESIDE
The 6-1 sophomore wing quickly made himself indispensable for the Knights. He racked up 20.7 points per game, sinking 55% of his field goals and 51% of his 3-pointers. He also averaged 6.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.4 steals en route to a state runner-up finish.
AHLIUS YEAROUT, LAPWAI
A second-team pick last year, the 6-2 senior guard moved up to the first team in his final season. The two-year captain served as the state champs’ leader on and off the floor, was a lockdown, on-ball defender and averaged 16.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
DAVID KLUDT, KAMIAH
A blue-collar player on both sides of the floor, the 6-5 junior forward stepped into whatever role the Kubs needed all season. His size allowed him to dominate in the paint, but he also had the ball skills of a guard, averaging 17.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game.
NOAH PALOMARES, VICTORY CHARTER
His future may lie on the baseball diamond with Northwest Nazarene. But the 5-8 senior point guard also had quite a basketball career. He’s twice made the all-state first team, averaging 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.9 steals this winter.
COACH OF THE YEAR: ZACHARY EASTMAN, LAPWAI
He led the Wildcats to their 13th state title and a 25-2 record. The only losses were to Rocky Mountain and Baker, Oregon.
