POCATELLO — The meaningful games have come and gone, with three District 5 schools claiming championship banners — Pocatello girls, Rockland girls and Preston boys. But the seniors from the district’s schools took the court one final time for some fun and entertainment, Monday evening at Pocatello High School.
The night was highlighted by Preston High School’s Reggie Larsen, who won the slam dunk contest, but fans in attendance were also treated to a pair of fun games as well as a girls 3-point shooting contest — won by Bear Lake High School’s Saydee Shaul.
Here are some of the moments of the night:
