POST FALLS — Coeur d’Alene senior Chase Mitchell, who has signed with Community Colleges of Spokane, parred the first hole of a playoff to capture boys medalist honors over Cameron Johnson of Lake City at the Post Falls Invitational on Monday at The Highlands.
“He had a good day ... he’s hitting it solid,” Coeur d’Alene coach Bryan Duncan said of Mitchell.
Post Falls, led by Tanner Byers with a 75. won the boys tourney with a 308, three shots better than Coeur d’Alene.
“As a team we’re only doing OK,” Duncan said. “We shot a 311, which is decent. We’re not where we need to be to win regionals.”
Kellogg and Lake City tied for third at 316. Johnson and Mitchell each shot 73.
In the girls tourney, Lake City shot 361 to win by 13 strokes over Post Falls. Kyla Currie led the Timberwolves with an 80.
Coeur d’Alene’s boys host the Kraus Invitational on Friday at Avondale. Coeur d’Alene also hosts a girls tournament that day at Hayden Lake Country Club.

Lakeland 7-6
Moscow 4-1
RATHDRUM — Max Baker hit a three-run homer to cap a seven-run first inning in the first game, and the host Hawks went on to sweep the Bears in 4A Inland Empire League play.
Glen Gosse of Moscow led off the opener with a triple, and scored on a groundout.
“I was very impressed with how we came out swinging the bats in the first inning of Game 1,” Lakeland coach Jason Bradbury said. “A lot of teams would have got down, but my guys stayed positive and got out of the inning with no more damage.”
In the second game, Jared McDaniel scattered seven hits and struck out four for Lakeland (7-6, 3-1 4A IEL), which scored four times in the first inning.
“Jared McDaniel was the story in Game 2,” Bradbury said. “I loved how he battled on the mound. He didn’t work ahead of many batters, but he always came right back with quality strikes and pitched to contact. He’s got a bulldog mentality out there.”
Moscow is 2-8, 1-3.
Lakeland is scheduled to play host to Sandpoint in a 4A IEL doubleheader today.
