RATHDRUM — Senior Cassie Thompson scored a game-high 27 points to lead the top-seeded Timberlake Tigers to a 53-27 win over the fourth-seeded Kellogg Wildcats on Wednesday night to advance to the 3A District 1 tournament championship game.

“I was really happy with our defensive pressure in the first half,” Timberlake coach Matt Miller said. “We got a lot of easy baskets in transition.”

Caitlyn Nichols scored 10 points for Timberlake (17-4), which faces Priest River in the championship game tonight at 8.

Priest River defeated Bonners Ferry 55-39 in the other semifinal Wednesday night.

“We came out and played them tough,” Coeur d’Alene Charter coach Logan Grant said. “The score doesn’t indicate the dogfight they were in all night. The game was a lot closer than the score indicates, but it got away from us in the third quarter.”

“Mullan came out and took it to us,” Kootenai coach Mike LaFountaine said. “We couldn’t get any shots to fall and didn’t start to play until the second quarter. By the time we got it going, we’d dug a bit of a hole and we couldn’t find a way to stop Axtman or Sydney Koenig.”

“We played a good third quarter as a team tonight,” Coeur d’Alene Charter coach Brian Childs said. “We got a big contribution from a lot of people tonight and had some guys make some hustle plays for us.
