Post Falls graduate Jaxon Lysne signs to play at College of Idaho
Jaxon Lysne signed with College of Idaho surrounded by family, former coaches and teammates, capping a Post Falls career that drew district and league honors.
Jaxon Lysne signed his letter of intent to play basketball at College of Idaho in Caldwell with a crowded circle of family, former teammates and school staff around him. The recent Post Falls High graduate was seated with his parents, Jason Lysne and Heather Lysne, and joined by former Post Falls boys basketball coach Jayson Ulrich and activities director Craig Christensen, turning the signing into a snapshot of the support system that carried him through high school.
The July 3 photo also placed that support network front and center with Cashton Bodman, Isaiah Naylor, Jace Ostlund, Conner Carver, Dave Lysne, Jan Lysne, Reese Loftin, Timothy Wilson, Rylee Hanson, Kyson Ostlund, Sawyer Norisada and Elliot Ries all in the frame. In a county where school basketball remains one of the most visible paths from youth sports to college opportunity, the image showed how a Post Falls athlete can move from summer runs and school gyms to a formal college commitment.
Lysne’s signing followed a senior season that put his name among the top basketball players in the region. In late January, Post Falls High named him Athlete of the Week after he scored 29 points on 12-of-16 shooting, with four assists and four rebounds, in a 6A District 1 tournament win over Coeur d’Alene High. That performance came in a postseason game that helped define his final high school stretch.
His recognition did not stop there. IdahoSports.com listed Lysne as a co-recipient of 2026 6A Inland Empire League boys basketball Player of the Year honors with Lake City’s Jordan Carlson. MaxPreps also lists Lysne as a Class of 2026 player at Post Falls High and shows his high school basketball timeline running through March 1, 2025, reinforcing that the signing was the end point of a multi-year varsity career rather than a one-game surge.
A 2025 summer basketball photo from Post Falls showed Lysne in the program’s offseason group alongside Ulrich, a reminder that his development stretched across multiple seasons and settings. College of Idaho, an NAIA basketball program, gives Lysne the next step in a run that started in Post Falls and now continues in Caldwell.
