Lake City boys take care of business at Lewiston

* BOYS BASKETBALL

LEWSTON - J.J. Winger hit a 3-pointer midway through the fourth quarter to give Lake City a 10-point lead, and the Timberwolves stifled Lewiston's late run to beat the Bengals 53-45 on Wednesday and move into a tie for first in the 5A Inland Empire League.

"They made a run but our guys responded," Timberwolves assistant coach Kelly Reed said. "We made enough free throws down the stretch to win - a gutsy effort."

With Post Falls' win over Coeur d'Alene on Wednesday night, Lake City (11-7, 4-2) moves into a three-way tie with the Trojans and Vikings for first place in the 5A IEL.

Luke Ness scored 14 points for Lake City, which travels to Sandpoint to face the Bulldogs tonight at 7:30.
