Tackett leads Vikings past Lewis and Clark

* GIRLS

SPOKANE - Brittany Tackett, who recently signed to play basketball at Lewis-Clark State College, had 18 points, seven rebounds, five steals and two assists to lead the visiting Coeur d'Alene Vikings past the Lewis and Clark Tigers 60-45 in a nonleague basketball game on Saturday night.

"Brittany had a really good night tonight," Coeur d'Alene coach Dale Poffenroth said.

Coeur d'Alene (4-0) made 12 of 20 attempts from the field in the first half, compared to 6 of 26 for Lewis and Clark (0-1) in the first half as the Vikings took a 32-18 halftime lead.

"It wasn't anything special on defense," Poffenroth said. "The kids just decided to play defense. We knew Lewis and Clark was a good team and we had to play hard and that kids had that mindset."

Sydney Williams scored 15 points, Madison Sumner had 10 points and five steals and Sara Chalich had six rebounds and six points for Coeur d'Alene, which hosts Shadle Park on Thursday.

Lindsay Lee led Lewis and Clark with 13 points, and Riley Lupfer added 12.

Clarissa Smith had 10 points and six rebounds for Lake City (3-0), which opens 5A Inland Empire League play at Post Falls on Thursday.

"Madi did a great job defensively tonight for us," Lake City coach Bryan Kelly said. "They had a post (Amira Chandler) that was pretty good, and I thought she did a great job on her."

Chandler scored 15 points for Wenatchee.

"I thought we shared the ball well as a team, but had too many turnovers," Kelly said. "But that will come down with experience. It was a great team effort and we got after it defensively. Offensively, we were really patient and let the game come to us."

COEUR d'ALENE - Jesse Lambert scored 17 points to lead the Wildcats past the Panthers in the season opener for both schools at Holy Family Catholic School.

Chrishtian deYoung scored 11 points for Kellogg. Caleb McDonald had six rebounds, Gus Colburn four steals.

"I thought we played three quarters of really good basketball," Kellogg coach Jeff Lambert said. "We kind of slacked on defense in the second quarter and that was unacceptable. We focused on defense in the second half, and I thought the defensive effort was a lot better."

Christian Johnson scored 12 points and Chris Adams 11 points for Coeur d'Alene Charter, which hosts Bonners Ferry on Tuesday.

"Early in the game, I really felt like our inexperience and youth showed," said first-year Coeur d'Alene Charter coach Steve Bourgard, whose team fell behind 14-0 early on. "Then we settled down and played a decent second quarter and played well the rest of the way."

With Freeman still alive in the Washington state football playoffs, Kellogg's game Wednesday vs. the Scotties will be rescheduled. Kellogg returns to action Friday at the Silver Valley Tournament at Kellogg, playing Mullan at 7:30. Wallace faces Orofino at 6. On Saturday, the consolation game is at 1 p.m., followed by the title game at 2:30.
