POST FALLS — Sometimes, you’ve just got to get back to the drawing board.

Ryan Baker scored a game-high 18 points for the visiting Meridian Warriors in a 74-58 win over the Post Falls Trojans at The Arena on Thursday.

Max Gwilliam and Nate Reynolds scored 12 points each for Meridian (4-6), picked fourth in the 5A Southern Idaho Conference.

“We did not execute what we wanted to do,” Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. “We knew that they were going to use that dribble drive and our defensive awareness was as poor as we’ve seen with this group. For whatever reason, we just did not execute today. Our attention to detail was not where it needed to be and led to us being careless with the ball and getting away from what we were doing well.”

Neil McCarthy scored 11 points for Post Falls (2-10), which hosts Lewiston on Jan. 6.

“Landon was a tough matchup for us throughout the game,” Coeur d’Alene coach Jon Adams said. “Him and Sawyr are tough, big bodies and hit some big shots for them down the stretch. Eagle executes very well and they’ve got a lot of post exchange action and had a lot of second chance opportunities.”
