• GIRLS BASKETBALL
KELLOGG — Allison Kirby scored 11 points and the visiting Timberlake Tigers clinched the Intermountain League title with a 57-24 victory over the Kellogg Wildcats on Friday night at Andrews Gymnasium.
Timberlake (15-1, 5-0 IML), ranked No. 2 in the state in 3A, also clinched the top seed to the 3A District 1 tournament starting on Feb. 8 at North Idaho College.
Kayla Miller scored seven points for Kellogg (10-7, 1-3), but a 22-3 run to start the game allowed the Tigers to pull away.
“I think there’s a reason why they’re ranked so high in the state,” Kellogg coach Eli Bourgard said. “They’re a great team defensively.”
Timberlake, which has won 15 straight, hosts Moscow on Thursday.
Kellogg hosts Bonners Ferry on Tuesday.

HARRISON FLATS — Kaili Gentry finished with a double-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds and three steals, but the Warriors succumbed to an 18-7 run in the third quarter in a North Star League loss to the visiting Miners.
“We came out flat in the second half. In the first six minutes, things didn’t go our way,” Kootenai coach Mike LaFountaine said. “But they fought and we’re coming together as a team. It’s fun to watch and it’s awesome to be a part of. Gretchen Farkas (of Wallace) stepped up and had a great game.”
Farkas hit three 3-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws and scored 21 points for Wallace (12-2, 7-0), which hosts North Idaho Christian on Monday.

LEWISTON — The visiting Vikings were whistled for four technical fouls, and fell victim to the Bengals’ size in the 5A Inland Empire League game at Booth Hall.
“Lewiston played well; their bigs gave us problems,” said Coeur d’Alene coach Kurt Lundblad, who was called for two of the Ts, the second one sending him to the locker room for the night in the final minute of the game. “Lewiston played better than us; and they deserved to win. There were some outside elements that we couldn’t control that played a factor in the game.”
Joey Naccarato scored 14 points to lead Coeur d’Alene (12-3, 2-2 5A IEL), which is tied for third in this week’s state 5A media poll.
