Lakeland 48, Sandpoint 45

RATHDRUM — Senior Logan Roos mustered up 12 points, seven rebounds, and three steals, junior Brock Yarbrough tallied five points and a game-high six assists, but troubles from the free throw line plagued the Bulldogs in 5A Inland Empire League loss to the Hawks on Friday night at Hawk Court.

Junior Derrick Chamberlain registered seven points, junior Knox Williams six points, two assists and two steals, and senior Caiden Gion had five points and six rebounds for Sandpoint, which trailed 25-14 at intermission.

Lakeland, led by a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds from Peyton Hillman, was ahead 32-18 at one point in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs used a 20-6 run to eventually tie the game 38-38. After the Hawks scored five unanswered, Knox Williams converted a putback after a missed free throw and Gion splashed a triple to keep the game at a 45-44 Lakeland advantage, but the Hawks held on for what was their fourth consecutive victory.

Sandpoint High head coach Will Love said after a timeout with six minutes to go in regulation, he thought his team started to play their brand of basketball again, outscoring Lakeland 22-14 in the fourth quarter.

"Lakeland did a good job of controlling the tempo, especially in the beginning; we were a little anxious on some shots that we took, which led to their 11-point lead early on in that first quarter," coach Love said. "In a spirit game, playing against a really good opponent and with so much energy around you, it's hard to make a comeback."

Senior Tyler Weisz and Williams also connected on 3-pointers, senior Kingston Corbett netted four points, and junior Logan Iverson had three points and three steals for Sandpoint (7-5), which will host Lewiston on Friday for another 5A IEL affair.

"I think this is going to be a real battle in our league, potentially there are one-and-a-half bids up for grabs, not like in the past where it's been clear cut with just one," coach Love noted. "It's going to be a dog fight against a tough Lewiston team. I know that the kids are going to come ready and prepared."
