Lapwai

Coach — Zachary Eastman (second year)

Last season’s record — 25-3 overall, 15-1 in league

Returning letterwinners — Kross Taylor, jr., guard; Titus Yearout, jr., guard; Alexander Ellenwood, jr., forward; Terrell Ellenwood, soph., guard; Lydell Mitchell, jr., forward; JC Sobotta, sr., forward; Chris Brown, jr., forward; Jenz Kash Kash, sr., guard.

Outlook — With most of last year’s team back, the Wildcats look to be at the top of the pecking order again in the Whitepine League Division I standings this season.

Yearout will have high expectations after a dazzling 2019-20 campaign, which saw him garner a first-team All-State spot, as well as the league’s player of the year honor. The rest of the roster is full of experienced players at every position. “The Lapwai Wildcats have one thing on their mind this year,” coach Zachary Eastman said, “And that is to win a state championship.”
