\"\"(NDAPSSA)\u00a0 The Jamestown Blue Jays were chosen as the top male high school sports team in 2019 by the North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.<\/p>\n

After topping Fargo Davies 66-49 in the state championship game, Jamestown joined Wahpeton (1941), Fargo South (1989) and Fargo North (2002) as the only Class A undefeated, state championship teams.<\/p>\n

Jamestown was led by senior Mason Walters, a 6-foot-7 center heading to the University of Jamestown, who averaged 21.5 points and 11.2 rebounds. Junior guard Boden Skunberg, who has committed to play at North Dakota State, surpassed the 1,000-point career mark and broke the school\u2019s single-season scoring record of 544 points.<\/p>\n

Male Coach of the Year\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jamestown boys basketball coach Jacoby Lloyd was selected<\/p>\n

In only his second season as Jamestown\u2019s head coach, Lloyd helped claim the school\u2019s first state championship since 1993. Lloyd, who was an assistant coach for eight years under Bismarck Century head coach Darin Mattern, took over a program that had a 2-19 record in the 2016-17 season.<\/p>\n

Lloyd\u2019s team went 12-14 during his first season before posting a 27-0 record this past season – becoming only the fourth Class A team to finish the season unbeaten. Jamestown won the West Region tournament for the first time and beat Lloyd\u2019s former team, Century, three times.<\/p>\n
