RATHDRUM - Lakeland senior Colton Grytness had been waiting all year for Thursday's match against the Moscow Bears at Rotary Field.

Grytness returned from a torn meniscus suffered during the summer to score in the 60th minute as the Hawks defeated the Bears 2-1 in 4A Inland Empire League play.

"It was a pretty big night for Colton coming off injury," Lakeland coach Andrew Craig said. "He's been rehabbing a lot and it was a huge night for him. He came out and was able to get a goal and we're really excited to have him back."

Grytness was cleared to practice two weeks ago and after consulting his doctors, returned in time for senior night.

Lakeland (9-6-1, 4-0 4A IEL) will face the winner of Monday's 4A Region 1 tournament match pitting Moscow (3-9-2, 0-4) at Sandpoint (9-5-2, 2-2) on Wednesday in the championship game at Rathdrum.
