Lee: LCHS Heavily Favored To Win Cage Title

Item: Lake City High gets early Christmas gifts with transfer of New Hampshire brothers /Greg Lee, Spokesman-Review

LC is heavily favored to capture the Inland Empire League championship. Coach Jim Thacker, who won nearly 500 games in three decades at Walla Walla, figured he’d have a team that would be in the mix as he begins his third year at LC. But then an early Christmas present – make that plural, as in presents – landed in his lap in late October when brothers Nate and Ben Frisbie moved from New Hampshire. Both are juniors (they’re not twins, one is older). Nate is a 6-foot-4 post and Ben is a 6-1 guard. They were starters as sophomores at Kearsarge High, a school of 680 in North Sutton, N.H. The school plays up a division in Class I, the second-largest classification in the state. Kearsarge advanced to the Class I semifinals. Ben, who started the last 14 games of his freshman season, was selected as the player of the year by two area newspapers and was a first team all-state pick last year.
