With the win, Kootenai advances to play Clark Fork (8-12) in the district championship game on Thursday at Lake City High.

"It was an emotional roller coaster," Kootenai coach Mike LaFountaine said. "The game went back and forth.

McInturff made a layup to put the Warriors up 41-40 with 30 seconds left. On the other end, Robbyn Trogden made a field goal to give the Tigers a 42-41 lead with 11 seconds left.

"We called timeout and got a play set up," LaFountaine said. "Mullan took off their press, Katey Mae got penetration.

McInturff took the inbounds pass, dribbled the length of the floor and banked in the game winner with four seconds left."

"I hope to see all the Kootenai alumni out on Thursday to support these girls," LaFountaine said.

Kami McKinnon led Mullan with 12 points.
