- COEUR d'ALENE WINTER CLASSIC

COEUR d'ALENE - It doesn't have quite the same atmosphere of a state girls basketball tournament yet, but the teams in the first Coeur d'Alene Winter Classic might be some to watch when that time comes in a few weeks.

In the tournament, Lake City beat Sandpoint 56-26 and Mountain View High of Meridian ran past Post Falls 78-52, setting up a semifinal game today at 5 p.m.

Sandpoint will face Post Falls today at noon in a consolation game.

Lake City 56, Sandpoint 26: Clarissa Smith had 14 points and seven rebounds for the Timberwolves, which beat the Bulldogs for a second time in three matchups this season.

"I think it show where we're going as a program," Lake City coach Bryan Kelly said. "The first time we played them up there, they beat us and we didn't play well. The second time, it was a little closer. The girls are continuing to build on what we're trying to do and they came out and played with super intensity."

Lake City (10-1) held Sandpoint guard Madi Schoening to six points.

"Madi's a great player and it was our goal to take her out of the game and make someone else beat us," Kelly said. "Olivia Maryon has done a great job defensively the last two times we've played Sandpoint. She knows her role and does a great job of stopping people and it's a great attribute to have."

Keara Simpson had six points and 10 rebounds for Lake City, which hadn't played since Dec. 20 in a tournament in Boise.

"I thought that Boise trip was good for us to get on the road and see what other teams we'll face and get rolling as a team," Kelly said.

Elani Williams scored 11 points for Sandpoint (7-5).

Mountain View 78, Post Falls 52: Maverick junior guard Destiny Slocum, who has verbaled to the University of Washington, scored 20 points for Mountain View, the top ranked team in the latest state 5A media basketball poll.

Mountain View used a 13-3 run late in the first quarter and pulled away from Post Falls.

"We've got a great team and great team chemistry," Mountain View coach Connie Skogrand said. "They've been playing together as a group for two years, and some for three years. The kids enjoy playing with each other, and it shows on the court. They work hard and it was a complete and total team effort."

"Destiny has a lot of kids around her that work well with her," Skogrand said.

"I thought we did a good job on Destiny defensively," Post Falls coach Marc Allert said. "We knew she'd get hers, but we didn't keep the other ones down. The other kids on their team were better and shot the ball really well."
