COEUR d’ALENE — Day Day Higgins scored 15 points and Kenyon Spottedhorse added 12 as Lakeside beat North Idaho Christian 54-42 on Tuesday night at Holy Family Catholic School, handing the Royals their first loss of the season.

“We were really good defensively; our rebounding was a lot better than the first time we played them,” said Lakeside coach James Twoteeth, whose North Star League team lost 73-60 at home to North Idaho Christian earlier in the season. “We concentrated on shutting down (Garrett) White and (Cross) Pilgrim, and we took care of the ball better.”

Phil Connelly led North Idaho Christian (9-1) of the Mountain Christian League with 13 points, and White and Pilgrim added 10 each.

On Thursday, Lakeside travels to Logos of Moscow, and North Idaho Christian plays host to Pullman Christian at Holy Family Catholic School.

Lake City 43

COEUR d’ALENE — James Carlson scored 21 points, but the Timberwolves were held to 15 second-half points in a nonleague loss to the Blackhawks.

“We had a few bright spots, but overall, it was a subpar effort,” Lake City assistant coach Kelly Reed said. “We didn’t shoot the ball, didn’t rebound well and had too many mental mistakes. And we didn’t guard very well.”

Hunter Schaffer scored 10 points for Lake City (1-4), which hosts Moscow on Dec. 20.

St. Maries 43

Potlatch 40

POTLATCH — Lumberjack coach Bryan Chase has told his team that eventually, the team’s defense was going to have to carry them.

It did just that in a nonleague win over the Loggers.

Kaden Hammond broke a 40-all tie with a driving layin and free throw with five seconds left as the Lumberjacks scored the game’s final nine points.

“Our will and determination was good in the fourth quarter,” said Chase, whose team held Potlatch to four points in the fourth quarter. “I’ve been kind of preaching to these guys that we’re going to have to win with our defense. And we had to do that tonight, because we didn’t shoot that well.”

Glover Buell and Tyler Lohman each had key steals and layins during that late run for St. Maries. Hammond scored the game’s final five points, including a basket with 30 seconds left to tie the game.

Jackson Pritchard scored 13 points for St. Maries (4-0), which hosts Sandpoint on Friday.

SPIRIT LAKE — Emmit Taylor III scored 17 of his 23 points in the the second half for the visiting Wildcats, who jumped out to a 22-13 halftime lead over the Tigers en route to the nonleague win.

“They played really good defense, and I think we had six turnovers in the first six or seven possessions,” Timberlake coach Michael Scott said. “They shot the ball well, they hustled and they were pretty physical.”

Jordan Hardy scored 11 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter for Timberlake (1-5), which plays host to East Valley on Saturday.
