Bryan Chase joins the program to talk about the St. Maries Boys Basketball Program. Chase capped off his seventh year as head coach by guiding the Lumberjacks to the 2A state title.

Chase has built one of the most consistent programs in the state. St. Maries has made the state semifinals all seven years and finished third and second the previous 2 years.

A former girls basketball coach at St. Maries, Chase relives St. Maries run at this year's state tournament. In the state semifinal, the Lumberjacks hit a 3-point shot with .6 seconds remaining on the clock to beat defending state champion North Fremont. The next day, St. Maries rallied from five down with 90 seconds remaining to win the school's first state title in six decades.

Chase discusses playing in the 2A Central Idaho League and his coaching influences.
