Brennan Stillinger and Michael Porter shot a 76 to lead the Coeur d’Alene ‘A’ team to a third-place finish.

“It’s pretty cool to have two teams in the top three,” Coeur d’Alene coach Bryan Duncan said. “It’s good for our depth to have the ‘B’ team beat the ‘A’ team. We’ve got great depth this year and this puts the pressure on the top guys.”

Lakeland finished fifth.

Coeur d’Alene travels to the 5A Region 1 tournament on Monday at Bryden Canyon Golf Course.

“Our league is very competitive this year,” Duncan said. “It’s going to be a dogfight. Lewiston will be the team to beat, but both Post Falls and Lake City are competitive this year. In my eight years as coach, this is the most competitive I’ve seen our league.”
