Lakeland bears down in Moscow

MOSCOW - Lakeland built a lead close to double digits in the fourth quarter, then held on to beat Moscow 55-53 in 4A Inland Empire League play Saturday at Bear Den.

Jax Babor scored 12 points to lead four players into double figures for the Hawks (4-4, 2-0 4A IEL), who are on top of the league standings with both victories coming on the road. Lakeland won at Sandpoint on Tuesday. Lakeland's two remaining league games will be at home.

"The bottom line is, we got a win on the road, and it's a good win, whether it's by two points or 12 points," Lakeland coach Steve Seymour said.

Neena Buchmann and Kerstyn Reed added 11 points for the Hawks. Darby Murray had 10 points, six rebounds, six steals and three assists, and Shelby Coder had eight boards.

Taylor Anderson scored 21 points, Abi Quinnett 16 for Moscow (1-1 4A IEL).

PENDLETON, Ore. - Junior Maggie Kirscher posted a double-double with 13 points and 10 boards, but the Bulldogs simply ran out of gas, falling to the Bantams in the championship game of the Pendleton tournament.

Charissa Chatburn added six points and six rebounds and Kara Bruce five points in defeat for the Bulldogs (2-6), who defeated host Pendleton on Friday night in the opener.

"Last night we played really well, but today we gave up 10 offensive boards in the first half and that wiped us out," said Sandpoint coach Lance Bruce, whose team managed just 10 second half points. "Our legs went and we were short on everything."

The Bulldogs are at Kellogg on Tuesday.
