Frosh Skalskiy paces Lakeland

RATHDRUM — Jalen Skalskiy, a 6-foot-5 freshman, totaled 19 points and nine rebounds as the Lakeland Hawks rolled past the Medical Lake Cardinals 75-51 in nonleague play Saturday at Hawk Court.

“He’s really smooth,” Lakeland assistant coach Bill Ryan said. “He had a couple baskets where he got the ball around the high post and made a nice move and layed it in.”

Dylan Knight hit 3 of 3 3-pointers and added 15 points for Lakeland (3-0). Dylan Vahey had 11 points and Kaden Davis had nine points and four assists.

Knight made two of Lakeland’s four 4-pointers in the first quarter as the Hawks flew out to a 20-8 lead.

Trey Sanchez scored 35 points for Sunnyside (5-0), including 12 in the fourth quarter and four of the team’s six points in overtime.

“He’s just a good shooter, and he can get to the rim,” Coeur d’Alene coach Tony Hanna said of Sanchez, who hit three 3-pointers. “It was an up-and-down game. We’re still trying to figure out who we are.”

Sam Matheson scored 25 points for Coeur d’Alene (1-2), including a 3-pointer late in the fourth to give the Vikings the lead, and two free throws with 15 seconds left to put the hosts up 3. Kale Edwards added 14 points for Coeur d’Alene, which returns to action Dec. 18 at Northwest Christian.

Sandpoint 75

Bonners Ferry 66

SANDPOINT — Sandpoint used a distinct height advantage, timely 3-point shooting and a huge second quarter to beat Bonners Ferry in nonleague play at Les Rogers Court.

Alex Stockton did the bulk of his damage on the blocks, scoring 18 points while blocking four shots and controlling the glass on both ends of the floor for the Bulldogs (3-2), who built a double-digit halftime lead with a strong 24-11 second quarter.

At times, the Bulldogs had five players on the floor taller than the tallest Badger, which led to lots of second-chance points. T.J. Davis scored a season-high 13 points, including a rare 4-point play, Robbie Johnson added 12 points and strong rebounding, and Christian Niemela drained two 3-pointers and converted an old-fashioned 3-point play to carry the Bulldogs in the third quarter.

Dylan Hittle scored 17, Chris Sabin 16 and Seth Bateman 15 to lead the Badgers, as the quick trio of guards were able to get to the rim early and often, but had trouble finishing lay-ups all night.

The Bulldogs are at St. Maries on Friday, looking to avenge a 13-point loss to the 2A Lumberjacks in the opener.
