COEUR d’ALENE — With only two returnees from last year’s team, Lake City’s boys basketball team is forming its own identidy this year.

Gone are the 3-pointers and flashy play from last year. This year, a more workmanlike effort is required.

And that’s what had coach Jim Winger happy after the Timberwolves downed the Sandpoint Bulldogs 55-41 in nonleague play Friday night.

“It was a great game for us, considering last weekend and how we played,” Winger said. “We didn’t show up one game. We’re kind of a workhorse, grind-it-out team. I just told them we’re not Kentucky; we can’t play that way.”
