MOSCOW - Marcus Colbert scored 7 of his 17 points in the third quarter to help the visiting 5A Inland Empire League Trojans gain some separation and beat the 4A IEL Bears in a tight nonleague game at Bear Den.
"We survived - and that's all you do in the IEL this year," Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. "In that third quarter, we did a much better job of getting into the lane and scoring. I truly believe Moscow is the most difficult place to play in this league. Moscow is so disciplined, so well coached; they're a fun team to play against."
Post Falls (14-2), ranked third in 5A, hit 15 of 16 free throws. Colbert made 6 of 6 from the line down the stretch.
Lane Brooks led Moscow (8-7) with 19 points.
