SPIRIT LAKE - After jumping out to a 14-0 lead Friday in a nonleague game against visiting 4A Moscow, 3A Timberlake's defense held strong in a 14-6 nonleague win Friday night at Van Tuinstra Memorial Field.

The Tigers (3-2) picked off three passes thrown by Bears quarterback Jake Clark. Two were picked off by Austin Allen and the other was picked off by Quinton Reese.

Timberlake overcame a 24-yard touchdown pass by Clark on the last play of the first half, on fourth and 20.

"The key of the game was we jumped out to an early lead," Timberlake coach Roy Albertson said. "We had a lot of momentum there in the first half."

Preston Rhodes led the Tigers' vaunted rushing attack, running for 103 yards on 15 carries. Josh Lampert ran for 84 yards on just six carries and Dan Buck rushed for 34 yards on 11 carries.

Clark went 19 for 33 for 206 yards for Moscow (3-3).

Timberlake plays at Bonners Ferry next Friday.

Priest River 27

St. Maries 20

ST. MARIES - Jimmy Koch scored on a 5-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to help the Spartans get past the Lumberjacks in a nonleague matchup of former Intermountain League rivals.

After throwing a 24-yard touchdown pass to Blake Lyons and running for a 5-yard score in first quarter, St. Maries quarterback Luke Feasline left the game with an apparent knee injury and could miss the rest of the season, according to St. Maries coach Craig Tefft.

"It was just another good, competitive game," Tefft said. "We knew coming into the game that we couldn't give up the big play, and their first touchdown was a result of a few missed tackles and those long touchdowns were just a killer."

Jeremy MacDonald caught touchdown passes of 66 and 54 yards in the second quarter for Priest River (3-1), which travels to Kellogg for an Intermountain League game next Friday.

St. Maries (2-3) hosts Grangeville to open Central Idaho League play next Friday. Grangeville beat Orofino 21-6 in the CIL opener.
