Lake City 70, Bonners Ferry 65 

COEUR d'ALENE — Senior Asher Williams poured in a game-high 29 points, including three 3-pointers, and came away with three steals as the visiting Badgers' 36-game winning streak was snapped by the Timberwolves Monday in a non-league matchup.

Senior Brody Rice supplied 16 points, 11 in the second half, and junior Sulay Abubakari had 12 points, all from 3-point range for Bonners Ferry, which used a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to pull within 59-57 of Lake City.

Senior Reese Strawn scored 21 points, including four 3-pointers, and dished out a game-high seven assists for Lake City, which is ranked No. 3 in 6A in the latest media poll.

“We came up with some big plays, made some big shots,” said Lake City High head coach James Anderson, who was impressed with Bonners Ferry’s offensive rebounding ability. “Bonners, they are really good at all five spots; if you send too many bodies at Asher, they’re even a better team.”

Bonners Ferry (19-1, 1-0) hosts Timberlake on Friday for their Intermountain and regular-season finale.

Timberlake 57, Bonners Ferry 16

SPIRIT LAKE — Senior Sydney Hinthorn had a team-high six points as the visiting No. 2 Lady Badgers were downed by the No. 1 Lady Tigers in a 4A Intermountain League district tournament game Monday.

Sophomore Taren Bateman added four points for Bonners Ferry, which finishes the season with a 12-9 record. 

Senior Diana Nelson had a game-high 13 points for Timberlake, which advances to a 4A state play-in game where they'll face the third-place team from District 3 (Boise area).

Since Timberlake was the top-seed, league by-laws indicate that if the top-seed wins the first game of the district tournament, then there is no best-of-three series like in years past.
