PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL: Lakeland falls to Priest River in opener

| November 10, 2012 8:30 PM

RATHDRUM - Jill Weimer scored nine points and the Priest River Spartans beat the Lakeland Hawks 43-29 in the nonleague girls basketball opener for both schools Friday night at Hawk Court.

"We looked like a bunch of kids that are trying to figure out how to play together," Lakeland coach Steve Seymour said. "Priest River has a solid team and we had moments where we looked OK, and you could see the potential, but it's buried in a bunch of turnovers."

Kaidan Kelsey had five points, nine rebounds and five blocks for Lakeland, which committed 35 turnovers and travels to St. Maries today.
