"We didn't play with a lot of energy," Lake City assistant coach Kelly Reed said. "We broke down all over the place. You've got to give Lewiston credit, they shot the ball well and executed."

Lake City was 20 of 61 from the floor.

Mark Smyly had 13 points and nine rebounds for Lake City (10-8, 3-3 5A IEL), which hosts Sandpoint on Wednesday.

SANDPOINT - Marcus Colbert scored 20 points and had six assists, and Shawn Reid added 19 points and six rebounds as Post Falls, ranked No. 2 in 5A, overcame another stellar night from Stefan Buratto of Sandpoint at Les Rogers Court.

Buratto erupted for 35 points on 11-of-14 shooting, after he went off for a school-record 42 points in the previous meeting against the Trojans (15-2).

"Buratto's the most difficult guy in the league for us to stop - a legitimate scorer," said Post Falls coach Mike McLean, who had high praise for the play of Jared Kennedy and Matt Lickfold off the bench.

Jackson Olin, Cole Fuhrman and Skyler Tucker each added eight for the Bulldogs (6-11).

"If you're going to double Stefan, our guys are saying 'reverse it to me and I'm going to stick it,'" Sandpoint coach Tyler Haynes said. "They (the Trojans) have us outnumbered at every position except one."

Buratto, Tucker, Brandon Lawrence, Bridger Paull and A.J. Smith were each honored as part of senior night. On Monday, the Bulldogs play at Priest River, and Post Falls plays host to Lewiston.
