SPIRIT LAKE - Allison Kirby led four players in double figures for the Timberlake Tigers, who romped past the Priest River Spartans 66-29 in the Battle for the Buck spirit game on Saturday.

Timberlake is the top-ranked team in this week's state 3A girls basketball media poll, with Priest River third.

"Our defense led to some easier shots which started falling in the second quarter and our defense kind of created our offense," Timberlake coach Matt Miller said. "It was a total team effort on both ends of the floor, and the girls played great both offensively and defensively."

Keelie Lawler scored 12 points, Payten Rhodes 11 and Jacquelyn Mallet 10 for Timberlake (13-2, 3-0 Intermountain League), which hosts Lakeland on Thursday.

Elisa Williams scored seven points for Priest River (12-3, 2-1).

Sandpoint 38

Moscow 33

SANDPOINT - Sandpoint struggled mightily to score the basketball for three quarters in a 4A Inland Empire League showdown with Moscow on Saturday night at Les Rogers Court.

But a sparkling fourth quarter erased all of that, as the Bulldogs came from 14 points down in the second half deficit to beat the Bears and take the early edge for the No. 1 seed at districts.

Madi Schoening scored 17 points and nabbed eight steals to lead the Bulldogs (10-6, 2-0 4A IEL), who trailed 20-8 after a rough first half.

"We couldn't buy a basket in the first half," Sandpoint coach Duane Ward said. "In the second half we extended the defense, then we started getting some steals. Moscow got a little shook up and we got confidence."

Lily Martin added six rebounds and three steals and Elani Williams seven points and four boards in the win. Perhaps the biggest shot of the game came from Riley Couch, who drained a 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter to cut the lead to four, and it was all Sandpoint from that point.

Jada Simpson led Moscow (5-9, 1-1) with 12 points.

Sandpoint is at Lewiston on Monday.

Orofino 26

COEUR d'ALENE - Anna Verhaeghe scored 18 points and Amelia Lehosit came off the bench to score 12 points to go with 11 rebounds, helping the Panthers beat the Maniacs in a Central Idaho League game at Holy Family Catholic School.

"We put a lot of focus on our transition game," Coeur d'Alene Charter coach Doug Grant said. "We've been beaten on it and most of Anna's points came in transition. They focused a lot of their attention on our posts, Jacklyn Jensen and Sarah Haman, double-teamed them. That allowed others to step up."

Jordan Howell scored nine points for Orofino (3-11, 0-4 CIL).

Coeur d'Alene Charter (8-6, 1-1) plays Friday at St. Maries.

St. Maries 29

ST. MARIES - Kelsey Auer had eight points, 10 rebounds and three steals for the Lumberjacks in a Central Idaho League loss to the Bulldogs.

"Our offense just never got going," St. Maries coach Jay Sines said. "They were playing good pressure defense and we couldn't get anything going. Our defense didn't play that bad, but we didn't get many shots up."

Alexis Cordell had seven rebounds for St. Maries (5-9, 2-2 CIL), which hosts Coeur d'Alene Charter on Friday.

Hailey Sullivan scored 13 points for Grangeville (8-8, 4-0).

Kootenai 41

Lakeside 36

HARRISON FLATS - Katey Mae McInturff finished with 17 points and six rebounds as the host Warriors won the Battle on the Trail game in North Star League play.

"We came out with great intensity in the first quarter," Kootenai coach Mike LaFountaine said. "We had great patience the rest of the game and we did a good job of controlling the tempo of the game. We didn't make our free throws as much as we would've liked to in order to close out the game. Katey Mae did a good job defending for us."

Grace McInturff had nine rebounds for Kootenai (10-6, 4-1 NSL), while Lacey Goodson had six. Kailey Carman and Paxton Dotson each had three steals.

Lillian Rhea scored 12 points for Lakeside (5-8, 2-1), which hosts Clark Fork on Tuesday.

"We wrestled pretty well," Coeur d'Alene coach Jeff Moffat said. "We're making strides and to finish in the top 10 is a good deal for this team. Colton had a really good tournament and Vince Ray stepped it up. We had some guys that wrestled really well. The guys wrestled hard."

"We had a really good weekend," Lake City coach Corey Owen said. "This is an incredibly tough tournament. The three kids who did place wrestled extremely well all weekend long."
