SANDPOINT - The 1-2 punch of Derek Pennington and Lane Brooks, who combined for 35 points, helped Moscow control the second half of a 4A Inland Empire League win over Sandpoint at Les Rogers Court.

Jackson Olin poured in 20 points to lead the Bulldogs (7-12, 1-3 4A IEL), who went into the locker room tied at 22 before the Bears (8-9, 4-0) found their offensive rhythm in a 42-point second half.

Sandpoint coach Tyler Haynes said Brooks, who had 13 points and five assists, was the difference in the second half.

"We beat them (Moscow) on the boards, and they're huge compared to us," Haynes said. "We've played five really good games in a row. We've found five guys that really want to go out and set the pace."

CLARK FORK - Junior shooting guard Zack Klein poured in 24 points, including four 3-pointers, but a cold start proved too much to overcome as the Wampus Cats fell in nonleague play.

Stillman Berkley added 11 points for the Wampus Cats (3-10), who were doubled up in the first quarter and then outscored the Montana team in the final three frames.

"We need to come out a little faster," Clark Fork coach Corey Vogel said. "All of Zack's 3-pointers were within our offense. I'm proud of the boys - we fought hard."

Tristin Bristol added seven points and 10 rebounds, and Zach Nesbitt dished out five assists for the Cats.
