Cooper, Derrick lead Lakeland boys past Sandpoint in 2 OTs
BOYS BASKETBALL
RATHDRUM - Eric Cooper's 3-point basket with 11 seconds left put Lakeland up by two points, and Tyrel Derrick's steal in the closing seconds sealed the Hawks' 52-50 double-overtime victory over the Sandpoint Bulldogs in 4A Inland Empire League play Thursday night at Hawk Court.
After Cooper's basket, and a Sandpoint timeout, Bulldog Jackson Olin dribbled the length of the court. When he got just inside the foul line, he was surrounded by three Lakeland players, and Derrick reached in for the steal and dribbled out the final couple of seconds on the clock.
"I think it's a really big win for us," Lakeland assistant coach Bill Ryan said. "It's a real boost for us. It's nice to have some positive stuff to move forward."
Cooper finished with 20 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals for Lakeland (3-7, 0-2 4A IEL). Adam Black added 14 points.
Olin scored 11 of his 16 points in the first half for Sandpoint (4-7, 0-1).
Lakeland trailed by eight points after three quarters, but outscored Sandpoint 15-7 in the fourth quarter. The Hawks led by two late, but Trevor Litzell's two free throws with 12 seconds left forced overtime.

RATHDRUM - Kacie Derby had 11 points and eight rebounds as Lakeland battled past Sandpoint in 4A Inland Empire League girls basketball action at Hawk Court.
Sandpoint (6-7, 0-2 4A IEL) jumped out to a 10-2 lead, but Lakeland (8-6, 1-1) switched to a zone and held the Bulldogs to just four points the rest of the half. Sandpoint pulled to within two points in the third quarter, but the Hawks made enough plays to hang on for the win.
"I thought we did a good job of battling the second half of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter," Lakeland coach Steve Seymour said. "It was a good win for us. Kacie hit some big shots, and Darby (Murray) was playing hurt a little bit, but she was all over the floor. And Josie Coder hit a couple of big 3s in the third quarter."
Murray finished with nine points, four rebounds, eight steals and five assists for Lakeland.
Hailey Olin scored 17 points, Maggie Kirscher 16 for Sandpoint.
"I thought they played hard and rebounded well, and Olin and Kirscher gave us fits," Seymour said.
