BOISE, Idaho — The Idaho Statesman has announced the 2021 All-Idaho high School basketball teams. As voted by the coaches in each classification, many local athletes are honored as the best players in the Gem State.

Titus Yearout: 1ADI Boys’ Player of the Year

The Lapwai Wildcats’ junior guard has now made the first team all three years of his high school career. This season, he led the wildcats through a dominant state championship run, surpassing 1500 career points on his way. He averaged 24 points per game, 8 boards, 5.5 half assists and 3 steals on the season

1ADI Boy’s All-Idaho First Team

Kase Wynott joined Yearout on the 1A first team. The freshman earned tournament MVP honors as the Wildcats brought home their 11th state title.

The freshman forward can do it all, scoring from three, midrange, and in the paint. He averaged 15 points per game with 7 rebounds.

1ADI Boy’s All-Idaho Second Team

Lapwai junior Kross Taylor earned second team honors, averaging nearly 15 points, 3 assists and 3 steals per game.

Each member of the Lapwai Wildcats named to the All-State team is a junior or younger, putting the Wildcats in great position for another deep tournament run in 2022.

1ADI Girl’s All-Idaho First Team

Prairie's Madison Shears and Genesee’s Claira Osborne picked up first team honors.

Shears averaged 13 points, 6 boards, 5 steals and 4 assists as she led the Pirates to a second-place finish in state. Next season, she continues her basketball career at the College of Idaho.

Earlier, Osborne was named the Whitepine League Player of the Year, averaging a double-double, with over 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. The senior also shined on defense, good for four steals per night.

1ADI Girl’s All-Idaho Second Team

Lapwai had a big showing on the 1ADI second team, with Grace Sobotta, Glory Sobotta, and Lauren Gould picking up spots on the team.

Each averaged over nine points per game guiding the wildcats to a Whitepine League Championship, and a second-place finish in the state tournament.
