COEUR d’ALENE — The visiting Grizzlies of Meridian jumped out to a 29-16 halftime lead to down the Timberwolves at Lake City High. 

“They were really good defensively,” Lake City coach David Pratt said. “They played with a lot of speed and were aggressive. We played much better in the second half, but they were just a little quicker and able to get some shots against our defense.” 

Junior point guard Ella Pearson scored 15 points for Lake City (0-6). 

“Ella’s been doing a great job of scoring for us,” Pratt said. “She kind of got pressed into playing point guard and learning on the fly on how to run the offense and direct players on where to go. She’s learning to run things and we need it. I’m really proud of her.”

Junior Berkley Jones scored 37 points for the Mustangs, who beat Coeur d’Alene 75-56 on Thursday in Coeur d’Alene. 

“She had one of the better performances I’ve seen,” said Post Falls coach Brian Carlson of Jones. “They’re physical, strong and compete. They’re a really good team and we just didn’t raise to their intensity level in the first half. I was pleased with how we competed in the third quarter and we played as hard as we could. But if you show up not ready to play against a team like Eagle, it’s going to get ugly quick.”
