Sandpoint's comeback bid fell short against Lake City, 35-27, on Friday night. The Timberwolves jumped on the Bulldogs off of two turnovers to the tune of a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Sandpoint stormed back thanks to another stellar day from Trenton Cross, who had a touchdown and over 100 total yards, and Brock Yarbrough, who added over 120 receiving yards, to tie the game 21-21 early in the fourth quarter. Lake City added two more scores, which proved too much for the Bulldogs to overcome. Sandpoint suffers their second loss to a 6A school and falls to 4-2 on the season. The Bulldogs will return home to War Memorial Field for their homecoming game against the Moscow Bears on Oct. 2.
