Lawler lifts Tigers to win

SPIRIT LAKE - Keelie Lawler scored a game-high 14 points to lead the Timberlake Tigers past the Lakeside Knights 60-32 in a nonleague game on Wednesday night at Timberlake High.

After taking an 11-7 lead after the first quarter, Timberlake outscored Lakeside 23-2 in the second quarter to pull away.

"We had some pressure defense that got us some easy baskets and extended the lead and really got us rolling," Timberlake coach Matt Miller said. "We played so-so in the first quarter, and might have had some jitters in the beginning, but got more relaxed defensively and better defense fueled our offense."

Francine Hendrickx scored 10 points for Lakeside (2-2), which hosts Valley Christian on Friday.

Jessica Norlander scored 13 points for Timberlake (1-2), which travels to Moscow tonight.
