Ambrose overcame an eight-point deficit with a strong fourth quarter, rallying past Lapwai to win the 1A Division 1 Boys Real Dairy Shootout on Saturday, 67-62, at the Idaho Center.
It is the first state title for Ambrose, who spent virtually all season ranked no. 1 in the IdahoSports.com boys basketball rankings.
