Lakeside boys hold off Deary

DEARY - Jonathon Nomee scored 22 points, Damon Flemming-Soto added 17 and Lakeside defeated Deary 57-50 in nonleague play Thursday.

"After the first quarter we started pusing the ball better and attacking the rim," Lakeside coach Bill Brebner said. "We started taking the ball inside and gained confidence."

Brever added Lakeside outrebounded Deary 32-26, despite Deary's considerable size advantage.

"We did a great job at playing fundamental basketball, boxing out and getting boards," Brebner said. "They went to a zone defense, we moved the ball and got some easy shots."

Lamont Higgins had 13 points and 11 rebounds for Lakeside (6-3), which plays at Coeur d'Alene Charter on Tuesday.

Kamiah 47

Timberlake 44

SPIRIT LAKE - A 3-point attempt fell short just before the buzzer, allowing the Kubs to escape with a win at the Miller's Harvest Foods tournament.

The Tigers trailed by seven entering the final quarter, but limited Kamiah to two points in the period to help their comeback.

"It was a good defensive battle in the fourth quarter, and they were 0 for 7 from the foul line, which helped us stay in it," Timberlake coach Tony Hanna said. "They're a solid team and (Jack) Nygaard is a heck of a player."

Nygaard, the Kamiah point guard, led all scorers with 27 points, while Mason Kramer had 13 for the Tigers.
