The Indians finished the regular basketball season with a non-conference win over Burley at home on Feb. 10. As the number one seed in the 4A South East Idaho Conference, Preston awaits the winner of Tuesdayâs contest between Century and Pocatello, who they will host on Thursday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. Both teams have challenged the Indians and have been consistently ranked in the top five with Preston this season, so competition for the only state berth will be fierce.
Before the game with Burley, Preston honored five basketball seniors as well as the cheer, drill and pep band seniors along with their parents.

It was a balanced scoring effort from Preston, which got 12 points from Brecker Knapp, 10 apiece from Braden Hess and Cole Harris, eight from Tyler Lindhardt and seven from two more players. I liked our energy, Preston head coach Tyler Jones said. I thought it was a great start. We ve had some slow starts this year in our games and I thought our (defensive) pressure (was great). We got a lot of deflections, which led to easy baskets and transition baskets, and got us really going. And that was good to see because we haven t really done that in a game yet this year.
