PLAYER OF THE YEAR: ASHER WILLIAMS, BONNERS FERRY
The pick: Now a three-time player of the year and a unanimous selection, the 6-6 senior guard set a new standard for the Badgers, leading them to back-to-back state titles. He topped the classification in scoring (28.7 ppg) for the second straight year, adding 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 steals as a well-rounded force.
Coach’s comment: “He has set the culture in our program and is a big reason why we played for a state title the past three years,” Bonners Ferry coach Nathan Williams said.
What others are saying: “Asher has shown the ability to rise to the occasion time and time again,” McCall-Donnelly coach Jason Tinney said. “He’s a complete player with a high level of competitiveness.”
What’s next: He has verbally committed to play at Montana Tech.
MARCUS COOMBS, SNAKE RIVER
The Panthers’ all-time leading scorer makes his third appearance on the all-state team, including his second on the first team. The 6-5 senior forward led his team to a runner-up finish at state, averaging 20.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks.
THOMAS BATEMAN, BONNERS FERRY
The 6-5 senior wing did everything for the state champs as a solid defender and a four-year member of the varsity team. He paired with Williams to lead the Badgers to new heights, finishing his final year with 15.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
SAM PENNY, MCCALL-DONNELLY
A second-team pick last year, the Lewis-Clark State signee moved up to the first team after leading the Vandals to a third-place trophy. The 6-2 senior guard and dangerous shooter became a threat to get to the rim, averaging 21.5 points, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game.
DAWSON JACKMAN, SNAKE RIVER
Often known for his defense-stretching range, the 5-11 senior point guard was more than a pure shooter and dangerous scorer (13.4 ppg). He also ran the Panthers’ offense with 3.4 assists per game, and served as a demon on the defensive end with 4.0 steals a night.
COACH OF THE YEAR: NATHAN WILLIAMS, BONNERS FERRY
He built 4A’s top offense (74.7 ppg) to lead the Badgers to a 24-1 record and a repeat title.
