LEWISTON - The Lapwai Wildcat Boys Basketball team, winners of 41 straight games dating back to the 2020-21 season, will look to defend their crown at the 2022 Avista Holiday Tournament when action kicks off on Tuesday. The defending-champion Wildcats defeated Lewiston 81-63 to take home last year's trophy. Kase Wynott was named 2021 Tournament MVP.
