COEUR d'ALENE - Connor Hill scored 28 points to lead the second-ranked Post Falls Trojans past the fifth-ranked Lake City Timberwolves 77-76 in a 5A Inland Empire League game Tuesday at Lake City High.

"It was a tale of two halves tonight," Lake City assistant coach Kelly Reed said. "At halftime, it was 22-21 us. In the second half, they were a lot more aggressive on offense. We had some chances down the stretch with all seniors on the floor and didn’t get it done.”
