Centennial 54, Coeur d’Alene 47

Joe Jaszewski, a talented photographer with the Idaho Statesman, said on his Twitter account Saturday that this photo was his favorite shot of the boys’ 5A basketball tournament: Centennial’s Daryl Robertson dives over Coeur d’Alene’s Devon Loy for a loose ball in the 5A boys state semifinal game at the Idaho Center on Friday night.

Coming into their State 5A semifinal matchup with Centennial, the Coeur d’Alene basketball team was intent on shutting down the dynamic Patriots duo of Faruk Huskic and Patrick Manning. Coeur d’Alene accomplished that goal, holding Centennial’s go-to seniors to 18 points on 6-of-16 shooting. But in the process, the Vikings lost track of Aaron Maffey, and it proved costly in a 54-47 loss at the Idaho Center. Maffey scored 22 points and burned CdA with several crucial 3-pointers. The junior shot 8 for 14 from the floor and added five rebounds/Jordan Rodriquez, SR. More here . And: Idaho Statesman rundown of Day 2 of boys’ 5A state tourney play .
