"I was happy that we were able to get into our plays a lot better tonight; we just had a tough time getting the ball to go into the hoop.

Coeur d'Alene 67, Sandpoint 58

SANDPOINT — Junior Jordyn Tomco drained three 3-pointers en route to a team-high 23 points and two steals, junior Brecken Mire found nylon from beyond the arc twice on her way to a total of 14 points and a team-high three assists, and the Lady Bulldogs played the Lady Vikings closely, but were ultimately defeated in a 6A/5A Inland Empire League showdown held Tuesday night at Les Rogers Court.

Junior Livia Driggs recorded 14 points of her own, including a 3-pointer, and senior Jasmin Laing added five points and two steals to the stat sheet for Sandpoint, which trailed 35-27 at halftime. 

The Lady Bulldogs cut the lead to 40-35 with under three minutes to go in the third quarter after a Mire drove the lane for a layup. In the fourth, Laing and Driggs fought through contact underneath and converted to keep it at a 55-46 Lady Vikings advantage, Tomco then found Laing wide open down low to keep it at a 58-49 margin, and later, Driggs completed a 3-point play and splashed a mid-range floater to pull Sandpoint back within six points, 60-54, before Coeur d'Alene pulled away.

Sandpoint High head coach Madi Schoening said she was proud of her team's effort, but turnovers, finishing layups and missed free throws were the difference maker.

"We knew that it was going to be a big battle, and for us to make it the game that it was, I was proud of the girls," coach Schoening said. "We've been struggling to score the last couple of games, and it just goes to show that we've been working hard on our offense this week and were able to convert... the girls were able to come into a timeout, go to the drawing board, and produce offensively."

Junior Brookeslee Colvin, who has 25-plus Division I offers, had a game-high 37 points, eight rebounds and six assists for Coeur d'Alene, which is now 15-2 on the year and is currently riding an 8-game winning streak.

"Game-prepping for Brokeslee Colvin is not an easy thing to do — we knew she was going to get her points," coach Schoening noted. "She's a really talented player who's hard to play, but fun to watch. Proud of the way Brecken defended her."

Sophomore Willow Betz contributed two points and three rebounds, senior Mia Driggs four rebounds, and Livia Driggs and Tomco both had two assists for Sandpoint (13-3), which will prepare for a 5A Inland Empire League game at Lakeland on Friday as part of the Battle for the Paddle spirit competition.
