Kellogg 71

Timberlake 46

SPIRIT LAKE — The visiting Wildcats pressed their way to a 51-15 halftime lead to beat the Tigers in an Intermountain League game.

“They came out and pressed us and we forgot what color jersey we were wearing, threw it to them and they got some easy buckets,” Timberlake coach Michael Scott said. “We did exactly what they wanted us to do — shot the ball too early — and threw the ball away. We made an adjustment at halftime, but we just couldn’t overcome their press. They’re physically strong and well coached. I’d say they’re our state champions at the 3A level.”

Chase Jerome scored 17 points for Kellogg (10-3, 2-0 IML), which travels to Bonners Ferry on Wednesday.

Dawson Cramer scored 11 points for Timberlake (6-11, 2-2), which travels to Bonners Ferry on Feb. 6.
