KELLOGG — With their coach out of town, the Coeur d’Alene Charter team had to rally to stay alive, as No. the fifth-seeded Panthers beat No. 4 seed Kellogg 15-25, 25-22, 25-22 and 25-16 in a loser-out match in the 3A District 1-2 tournament on Monday at Kellogg High.

Coeur d’Alene Charter (6-10) moves on to face No. 1 seed Timberlake tonight at 7 p.m. at Timberlake High.

“Nicolle Young had spikes that were just on fire, Jackie Callihan’s sets just flew in the air and Emily Burt was anywhere and everywhere on the court with her digs,” Coeur d’Alene Charter Athletic Director Nichole Thiel said.

Theil said head coach Taylor Wilkinson was interviewing for medical school in Detroit, and assistant coach Britni Turkenburg took over for the game.
