Sandpoint 59, Lakeland 29

SANDPOINT — Looking to avenge a 3-point loss to the Hawks earlier this season at the Battle for the Paddle spirit competition, Sandpoint did just that and more.

Junior Knox Williams posted a team-high 15 points, including two first-quarter 3-pointers, a team-high six steals, and four assists, senior Logan Roos gathered a double-double of 13 points and 13 rebounds and grabbed four steals of his own, and the two connected for an alley-oop dunk in the second half as they led the Bulldogs to a 30-point 5A Inland Empire League victory over the Hawks on Friday night at Les Rogers Court.

Senior Kingston Corbett added eight points, junior Derrick Chamberlain had seven points, nine rebounds, and a pair of blocks and steals, and junior Brock Yarbrough had seven points, including a 3-pointer, six rebounds and a game-high six assists for Sandpoint, which scored 16 unanswered points to start off the game and finished things off with a 16-4 fourth-quarter scoring advantage.

"We came out really focused and our press caused them problems from the start," Sandpoint High head coach Will Love said. "In the second half, the kids just kept at it, and we were able to get a win over a well-coached win... Knox Williams was just all over the place tonight; he did a good job shooting from the outside and also had some key rebounds and finishes around the basket. Overall, it was a team effort, especially on the defensive end."

Trent Boardman had a team-high 14 points, Jaron Yager eight points and 10 rebounds for Lakeland, which played without star center Brayden Carrel and are now 8-10 on the season.

Senior Caiden Gion tallied four points, junior Tyler Weisz a 3-pointer and four rebounds, junior Logan Iverson grabbed three steals, and Roos added a pair of blocks and assists to the stat sheet on the night for the Bulldogs.

Sandpoint 75, Moscow 42

SANDPOINT — Kingston Corbett has a history of putting together some of his best performances against Moscow — and that was no different on senior night.

The Sandpoint High senior produced a game-high 19 points and six rebounds, fellow senior Logan Roos collected a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds to go along with two steals, and the Bulldogs shook off some early jitters to down the Bears by a 33-point margin in a 5A Inland Empire League game held Saturday night at Les Rogers Court.

Senior Tyler Weisz had nine of his 12 points in the second half, including a 3-pointer, and pulled down seven rebounds, junior Brock Yarbrough had nine points, including a 3-pointer, and four assists, and senior Caiden Gion registered a line of seven points, six rebounds and three steals and sank a triple of his own for Sandpoint, which ended the half on a 16-0 run and outscored Moscow by a 28-6 tally in the third quarter.

"Just really proud of the effort from the entire team on senior night," Sandpoint High head coach Will Love noted. "Especially having to play back-to-back, I thought the kids did a good job of continuing the course. Eventually, we were able to get things settled defensively and turned them over with our press quite a bit... Extremely grateful to have been able to coach these seniors — they've meant a lot in regard to building a legacy — and I'm excited that we still get some more games together."

Jonas Mordhorst had 14 points, eight rebounds and two blocks while Keaton Frei dished out four assists for Moscow, which was as close as 23-22 midway through the second quarter, but fell to 3-17 on the year with the loss.

Junior Knox Williams added five points, a game-high seven assists, and a game-high six steals to the stat sheet, junior Derrick Chamberlain chipped in five points of his own, and the two each hit a 3-pointer as well for Sandpoint (10-10), which will wrap up their regular season with a 5A IEL matchup at league-leading Lewiston tonight.
