Koski big for Post Falls in opener
• BOYS BASKETBALL
POST FALLS — Post Falls post Corey Koski stuffed the statistical scoresheet Thursday, finishing with a double-double of 18 points and 20 rebounds, and also blocked six shots to lead the Trojans past the Rogers Pirates 64-44 in the nonleague opener for both schools at The Arena.
Koski, a 6-foot-7 senior, dominated inside and helped the Trojans embark on a 19-5 run in the second quarter to take a 35-19 halftime lead in Post Falls’ season opener.
“I thought in the first quarter, we looked like a team that was playing its season opener,” Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. “We were undisciplined, the first quarter was not aesthetically pleasing. But I was very happy with our second quarter, our focus and our execution at both ends of the court. We buckled down defensively and got the shots we wanted. I thought that carried over into the third quarter.”
Trojans guard Joey Pfennigs finished with eight rebounds and junior guard Dalton Thompson had nine points, five rebounds and three assists.
Post Falls hosts Kamiakin on Saturday.

“MIchael went out and had a great match,” Lake City coach Corey Owen said. “He got a takedown right at the start and then got tough and held on for the win. It was a back and forth dual meet. At any point, it really could have gone either direction. We’ll keep improving and hope to get a few more wins this season.”
