Note: Coaches in each classification select the All-Idaho teams. The Idaho Statesman hosts the voting process and publishes the results.
PLAYER OF THE YEAR: JONATHAN SWAINSTON, WENDELL
The pick: Part of a “dynamic duo” with twin brother Jordon, the 5-7 junior point guard helped the Trojans win a state title. He averaged 18.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 1.7 assists per game.
Coach’s comment: “Jonathan is a great point guard with a really quick release,” Wendell coach AJ Kelsey said. “He scored the last 11 points of the state finals game to win.”
What others are saying: “He was a huge factor in leading Wendell to a state championship and proved to be extremely clutch in the biggest moments,” Ambrose coach Jordan Whittenburg said. “The kid is a winner and his individual talent caused matchup problems for other teams while setting all his teammates up for success.”
What’s next: Swainston will try to close out his career with back-to-back titles.
EMMETT GIBBY, DECLO
The 6-4 senior center has started every game for the Hornets since his sophomore season. In Declo’s run to a state runner-up finish, Gibby contributed 13.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 49% from the floor.
JORDON SWAINSTON, WENDELL
A key component in the Trojans’ state championship run, the 5-7 junior point guard was an elite passer, averaging 3.8 assists per game. Swainston added 14.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game.
COOPER THOMPSON, SODA SPRINGS
Despite facing double and triple teams, the 5-10 senior point guard always found a way to score — or facilitate for a teammate. Thompson racked up 19.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game for the state consolation champions.
TRISTEN TREVINO, AMBROSE
A team captain and emotional leader, the 6-1 senior guard led the Archers in assists (3.2) and steals (2.5) per game. Trevino put pressure on opposing defenses with his ability to get to the rim, averaging 17.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.
COACH OF THE YEAR: AJ KELSEY, WENDELL
Kelsey led the Trojans to a 20-6 overall record and the fourth state championship in program history.
