COEUR d'ALENE - Colby Daniels and Devin Kluss scored 11 points apiece for the Coeur d'Alene Vikings, who beat the Flathead Braves of Kalispell, Mont., 61-30 in the nonconference season opener for both schools Saturday afternoon at Elmer Jordan Court.
"The kids played really well for it being the first game of the year," said Coeur d'Alene coach Kurt Lundblad, a Viking alum who won in his debut at his alma mater. "We defended and shared the ball really well and I thought Justin (Carpenter) had a great game defensively and Cole (Williams) came off the bench and did a really good job."
Carpenter scored nine points for Coeur d'Alene, which hosts Timberlake on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Adam Bradley scored nine points for Flathead.

SPOKANE - Jacob Dahl hit a 3-pointer with just over 20 seconds remaining and J.J. Winger made a pair of late free throws, leading the Timberwolves past the Rams of Yakima, Wash., to finish 2-0 at the Dan Fitzgerald Memorial Tournament at Lewis and Clark High.
"It was a really good game," Lake City coach Jim Winger said. "Both teams came out and played great. I don't think we played with a lot of energy or emotion (in Friday's win against Mountain View), but I thought we were great tonight. We opened up really quick and had a good rally to get back into the game."
Kyle Guice had 14 points and eight rebounds for Lake City (3-0), which travels to Hanford on Saturday.

PENDLETON, Ore. - After taking down host Pendleton in the opener, the Bulldog boys ran out of gas on Saturday against Pasco, falling to wrap up the Pendleton Tournament.
Jeremiah Gagnon and sophomore Carlos Collado each scored eight to lead the Bulldogs (2-1), who were plagued by poor defense and shooting from downtown. Pasco shot 60 percent from the field, while the Bulldogs made just one of 17 attempts from beyond the arc.
"Our problem was stopping them (Pasco), defensively we broke down. We also had poor shooting, and a third of our shots were threes," said Bulldogs coach Tyler Haynes, who felt his team learned a lot in defeat. "We came down to learn how to play back-to-back games in a tournament environment."

Bristol finished with 13 points and 16 rebounds, including nine offensive boards, and the balanced Wampus Cats committed just 11 turnovers in a sharp season opener.
"You win with that number," said Cats head coach Corey Vogel of the turnovers. "I liked our composure. We went out and played our game and started finding some rhythm on offense. We played as a team."
Geoffrey Boudousquie added nine points and seven rebounds, and Jake Aguirre and Brandan Bowen tallied five assists apiece in the win.
Chris Adams drained four 3-pointers en route to a game-high 20 points for the Panthers, who trailed by just four points at half time before running out of gas in the second half as only three players scored in defeat.

Chrishtian deYoung had 14 points and six rebounds for Kellogg (3-0), which hosts Lewiston on Saturday.

"They shot it really well in the second half," said Post Falls coach Marc Allert, whose team trailed 22-21 at halftime before Kamiakin pulled away. "They came down and hit four 3-pointers in a row, then their pressure caused some turnovers and we didn't play well in the second half."
Sam Runkle scored 14 points and Hannah Bodman had seven rebounds for Post Falls (2-3), which travels to Kennewick on Tuesday.

"Hailey Olin's 29 points and solid leadership gave the Bulldogs a victory over a scrappy Pasco team," said Bulldogs coach Bill Bender, whose team won despite playing without guard Madi Schoening.
Karlee Williams added 11 points and three rebounds, and Nikole Alamillo pulled down nine boards for the Bulldogs, who shot 75 percent from the free-throw line.

The Panthers (2-3) outscored the Cats 34-10 in a decisive first half, putting the game away early.
Jackie Jensen had seven assists and seven rebounds, and Haman was 7 of 7 from the field and 3 for 3 from the foul line.
"It's been a while since we've been on the positive side," Coeur d'Alene Charter coach Doug Grant said. "All in all, we're moving the ball around inside pretty well and our perimeter players are starting to score. I'm pretty happy with them and we're starting to turn the corner."
Lyndsie and Leslie Kiebert each scored seven points, and Alicia Heigis pulled down eight rebounds for the Wampus Cats (0-3), who struggled offensively.
"We're getting open looks, we're just not finishing," said Cats head coach Mark Stevens, whose team shot just 3 of 21 from the field in the first half. "That's our biggest thing right now. We'll just have to keep working and we'll get better."

Post Falls splits
in opening duals
HERMISTON, Ore. - Sophomore T.J. Wolf had two wins at 145 pounds, including a major decision over a two-time state finalist from Oregon power Hermiston, as the Trojans opened their season with a pair of duals.
"To do that to a two-time state finalist is impressive," Post Falls coach Pete Reardon said.
The Trojans rolled past Heppner (Ore.) in their first dual, then led Hermiston late before losing 37-34.
"It was definitely like jumping into the fire, feet first," Reardon said. "Hermiston has won the last three Oregon state titles, and we wanted to get tested right away. Overall the kids wrestled well."
Justin Farnsworth (285) had two wins for Post Falls, including a triple-overtime triumph over Hermiston. In the 30-second third overtime, Farnsworth chose down, and escaped in time to get the point and the win.
Alius De La Rosa (126), Drake Foster (132) and Seth McLeod (170) had two pins each for Post Falls, which hosts Lakeland on Thursday.
