BONNERS FERRY — Posts Daniel Smith and Brandon Hausladen scored 17 and 15 points respectively, but the visiting Tigers had too big of a hill to climb in an Intermountain League loss to the Badgers.

Timberlake (5-11, 0-4 IML) trailed 29-14 at halftime.

“I thought they played physical and finished well when we got them the ball in the post,” Timberlake coach Tony Hanna said. “Other than that, we didn’t shoot well. Bonners hit some timely shots; they just knocked down shots when they needed them.”

Kaleb Stockton scored 15 points for Bonners Ferry (6-7, 3-1), which shot 54 percent from the field. Timberlake shot 44 percent.

Genesis Prep 65

Mullan 31

POST FALLS — Genesis Prep took care of business enough to lock up either a No. 2 or No. 3 seed for the 1A Division II District 1 tournament, routing Mullan in North Star League play at Post Falls Middle School.

“We took control from the beginning,” Genesis Prep coach Debbie Holte said. “They’re playing really well going into the playoffs. We’re looking forward to a good district tournament. We took care of business.”

Bella Murekatete finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds and five steals for the Jaguars (10-10, 4-6 NSL). Shaye Schreibeis made six 3-pointers and scored 20 points, and Rachel Schroeder had 11 points and seven assists.

Charli Sadler scored 20 points for Mullan (5-13, 3-7).

If Clark Fork beats visiting Kootenai today, the Jaguars will be tied for second with Clark Fork. They would then play Clark Fork in the district opener on Thursday at Kellogg High.

If Kootenai wins, Genesis Prep finishes alone in second place, and there would then be a three-way tie for third between Clark Fork, Kootenai and Mullan.
