PREP BASKETBALL: Chamberlain posts double-double in Sandpoint’s loss to Lewiston

I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | December 16, 2023 10:00 PM
LEWISTON – Freshman Derrick Chamberlain, who had a team-high 13 points for Sandpoint, was the only Bulldog to reach double-figures in Sandpoint’s 72-51 loss to Lewiston on Saturday.
With 5:29 remaining in the second quarter, sophomore Logan Roos hit one of his two three-pointers to keep the Bulldogs within reach, 26-25. However, the Bengals went on a 14-5 run to end the half and carried that momentum with them throughout the rest of the contest.

Lewiston’s Jordan Walker had 17 points, which included five three-pointers for the Bengals.
Sandpoint (3-4) will travel to Kellogg on Wednesday to take on the Wildcats.
