HARRISON FLATS - Sophomore post Kelsey Auer finished with a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds for the St. Maries Lumberjacks in a 50-37 win over the Coeur d'Alene Charter Panthers in the 2A District 1-2 tournament second-place game at Kootenai High.

"I thought we did a good job of keeping their big girl, (Charter post Jacklyn) Jensen, pushed out away from the basket," St. Maries coach Jay Sines said. "We rebounded much better than the last time we played them."

Catherine Flach scored eight points and grabbed 11 rebounds and Alexis Cordell had six assists for St. Maries (10-12).

St. Maries plays a state play-in game on Saturday in Grangeville, against the McCall-Donnelly/Marsing winner.

Anna Verhaeghe scored 15 points for Coeur d'Alene Charter, which finishes 11-11.
