Top ranked St. Maries too much for Spartans

PRIEST RIVER – The Priest River Spartans boys basketball team had its hands full with St. Maries at home Thursday, Jan. 15, with the Lumberjacks taking an 80-24 win.

“They came out fast in the first quarter, and we kept turning the ball over to them,” Priest River coach Brian Hall says. That resulted in the Spartans trailing 36-4 at the end of the quarter.
