NAMPA – Brian Barber told the Boise High School boys basketball team it better get a win Wednesday.
It was hard to blame the school’s Athletic Director for saying that. It has been almost a quarter of a century since the school’s last playoff win.
And the Brave obliged.
They erased a double-digit first half deficit to knock off Rigby 50-47 for their first postseason win since 1997 in the opening round of the 5A State Tournament Thursday at the Ford Idaho Center.
Boise (8-6) will play Lake City (17-6) at 4:30 p.m. Friday right back at the Ford Idaho Center.
