Vikings pressure Lakeland

RATHDRUM - Kendalyn Brainard scored 13 points and nine other Coeur d'Alene players recorded points as the 5A Vikings beat the 4A Lakeland Hawks 57-19 in nonleague high school girls basketball action Tuesday night at Hawk Court.

Erin Legel added nine points for Coeur d'Alene (3-0), which has won its first three games by an average of 33.3 points.

"They put a lot of pressure on," Lakeland coach Steve Seymour said. "We did a pretty good job of breaking full-court pressure, but once we got across halfcourt we had a hard time getting into our halfcourt offense; they extended their pressure well."

Cieana Close scored eight points for Lakeland (2-2), and Seymour had praise for the hustle of Darby Murray.

He said this was a game the Hawks could learn from.

"It shows us that maybe we need to work a little bit harder, all of us," Seymour said. "Hopefully it causes us to raise the bar at practice, and it causes us to push ourselves, knowing there are teams out there, that if we're not able to deal with that competitiveness and speed, it could be a long night."

Next Tuesday, Coeur d'Alene travels to Lewiston, and Lakeland is home vs. Cheney.
