Winger drains six 3s for T-Wolves at Fitz tourney

* BOYS

SPOKANE - Senior J.J. Winger hit six 3-pointers and scored 24 points, leading the Lake City Timberwolves past the Mountain View Thunder of Vancouver, Wash., 61-55 in the second Dan Fitzgerald Memorial Basketball Tournament at Lewis and Clark High on Friday night.

"We pressed a little bit and picked up the defensive intensity in the second," said Lake City assistant coach Kelly Reed, after the Timberwolves outscored Mountain View 20-14 in the third quarter to extend a 28-26 halftime lead. "Any win, you'll take. But as a group, we need to come out more focused, intense and play with some basketball smarts. It was kind of a lackluster effort in the first half, and you just can't do that. We need to pick up the mental side of our game. The effort was better in the second half, but the first half wasn't great."

Kyle Guice had 15 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots for Lake City (2-0), which faces West Valley High of Yakima today at 4 p.m. at Lewis and Clark High.

Alex Torson hit seven 3-pointers and finished with 36 points for Mountain View.

SPIRIT LAKE - Mason Cramer had 17 points and eight rebounds for the 3A Tigers, which came up just short in a nonleague loss the Bengals of the 5A Inland Empire League.

"We made a good run in the third quarter to come back and tie it up," said Timberlake coach Tony Hanna, whose team trailed 26-16 at halftime.

"It was back and forth for half of the third and fourth quarter before they iced it at the free throw line late in the game. It was a pretty evenly matched game and both teams had some runs, but for the most part, it was pretty even."

Jaydan Kaufman scored 19 points for Lewiston (1-1).

"They threw a 1-3-1 zone at us, which we haven't seen before," Hanna said. "But I thought our kids adjusted well to it,"

Keegan Scott added 11 points for Timberlake (0-2), which faces another 5A foe on Wednesday, when it travels to Coeur d'Alene.
