West Valley 9
Sandpoint 0
SPOKANE — Senior pitcher Casey Bottomley put up zeroes in three of the first four innings and struck out six, but cold bats and several big errors proved too much to overcome, as the Bulldogs lost in their season opener to the Eagles.
Bottomley went the distance in defeat for the Bulldogs (0-1), who struggled offensively. Leadoff hitter Jordan Speelmon had a single for the lone hit, as a young Bulldog team featured a host of varsity newcomers in the starting lineup.
“The bats were quiet today, we had trouble putting the ball in play,” Sandpoint coach Derek Dickinson said. “We have some young players in different positions, and we’re getting used to that. Casey pitched well, they (West Valley) earned what they got.”
Sandpoint is at Timberlake on Tuesday.

“It took us a while to get going, then we finally started hitting,” said Lakeland coach Colleen Bevacqua, who was also happy the game didn’t have to be rescheduled due to weather, which has often happened early in the season. “It was the first time in nine years we were able to play our first home game on our home field.”
Danielle McCormack hit an RBI double in the fourth inning of the second game for Timberlake (0-2), which plays host to Sandpoint on Tuesday.

Trojans’ Walton
hurdles to record
LEWISTON — Post Falls senior Wednesday Walton set a school record in the 100-meter hurdles in 15.29 seconds at the Lewiston Invitational on Saturday at Sweeney Track.
Walton, who has signed to run track at the University of Massachusetts, also won the 300 hurdles and was second in the 400 for the Post Falls girls, which finished fourth.
“Wednesday had a really good day for us and ran real well in the 300 (hurdles) also,” Post Falls coach Wade Quesnell said. “For our first meet, I thought we did well and the kids competed hard.”
Connor Newby, Trent Green, Nathan Newby and Chris Baker won the 4x100 and 4x200 relay and Kyler Little, Marcus Ross, Garrett Johnson and Jake Finney won the distance medley for the Lake City boys, which finished third.
“I was really pleased with how things went today,” Lake City coach Kelly Reed said. “Jake was probably down 50 meters in that relay, then reeled him in and beat him at the finish. It was an incredible effort. Maddi (Ward) looked really impressive in her two wins also. It was really impressive to see.”
Ward won the 100 and 200 for the Lake City girls, which finished seventh.
Chandler Smith won the high jump at 6-feet, 2 inches, for the Post Falls boys, which also finished fourth.
Both schools will compete at an Inland Empire League meet on Tuesday at Coeur d’Alene High.
