PREPS

The Ferris Saxon boys have put away the Greater Spokane League regular season title, in essence if not officially.

The Saxons’ 72-49 rout of Shadle Park on Friday night gave Ferris a three-game lead (more like four because of the two wins over the Highlanders) with six to go.

Finishing in the top two during the regular season ensure a spot in regional play with the Columbia Basin League 4A reps.

In girls’ play, the Rogers Pirates picked up their third win of the season, most since 1998, but rallying past Central Valley 54-51.

Outside the GSL, we had a boys’ roundup, with Pullman getting past host Cheney in double overtime, and a girls’ wrap, headed by Freeman’s overtime win at Chewelah, of Friday’s action.

In Idaho, Lake City’s boys raised their overall record to 10-4 (4-2 in IEL play, tied with Lewiston) with an Inland Empire League win over the Bengals. The T-Wolves’ girls also won on Senior Night.
