LEWISTON - Corey Koski had 10 points and seven rebounds to lead the Post Falls Trojans past the Lewiston Bengals 76-55 in the 5A Inland Empire League finale for both schools on Friday night at Booth Hall.

"We jumped on them with our pressure early on," Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. "It was a good night for us. We had 12 guys that played, and 12 guys that put up good numbers, so it was a good team win. Any time you can come to Lewiston and win by 20, we're pretty happy."

Dalton Thompson scored 14 points, Matt Hillman 10 for Post Falls (13-7, 3-3 5A IEL), which travels to Lake City in the opening round of the 5A Region 1 tournament next Friday.

Jayden Kaufman scored 27 points for Lewiston (5-15, 0-6), which is at Coeur d'Alene next Friday to open the tournament.

TROY - The No. 2 seed Lumberjacks' season came to an end with a loss to the top-seeded Bulldogs in the championship game of the 2A District 1-2 tournament at Troy High.

Haylee Waddell scored 11 points and Kelsey Auer had nine points and 10 rebounds for the Lumberjacks, who finished 11-10.

"We had a tough time finding the basket in the first half," St. Maries coach Jay Sines said. "Our energy was down a little bit in the first half. We were playing decent enough on defense, but couldn't get it done on offense. In the second half, we livened up on offense and had a really good fourth quarter. The kids worked hard all game, and I'm pretty proud of their season."

Kendall Brusseau had seven rebounds, Kari Ghramm four steals for St. Maries.

Grangeville (18-4) advances to state starting Thursday at Kuna High.
