Lake City 56,
Union High 31
VANCOUVER, Wash. — Halftime adjustments led to an effective third quarter of defensive pressure, which Lake City used to expand its lead and win its opener at the Vancouver Holiday tournament.
The Timberwolves (9-2) led 26-17 at halftime, but had missed quite a few first-half shots, coach James Anderson said — so Lake City turned to its full-court press.
“We responded really well after halftime. Our press forced some turnovers, and we converted those into easy baskets,” Anderson said.
Brooklyn Rewers had a strong game on both ends of the floor, Anderson said, with 17 points, seven rebounds and seven blocked shots.
Bridget Rieken had 10 points, seven rebounds and four steals, while Klaire Mitchell had six assists for Lake City.
The Timberwolves face undefeated Skyview High of Vancouver (11-0) tonight at 8:30 in the second round of the tournament.
“Skyview should be a really strong test for us,” Anderson said.

Eagle 53
Post Falls 44
BOISE — Jayda Johnson had eight points, five rebounds and four assists for the Trojans in a loss to the Mustangs in the opening day of the Timber-Lion tournament at Timberline High.
“It was close most of the game,” said Post Falls coach Marc Allert, whose team knocked off Eagle to win the state 5A tournament last February in Nampa. “We got within a four-point deficit in the fourth, and they made another run. We played a lot better defensively and did some good things. Jayda came off the bench and did a good job for us. It was just a better effort all-around. Eagle’s a talented team.”
Dylan Lovett scored 10 points, Sandy Faulkner had nine points and seven rebounds and Jenna Gardiner — the team’s lone returning starter from the championship team — scored eight points for Post Falls (2-10), which faces Meridian today at Timberline High.
Meghan Boyd scored 17 points for Eagle (10-2).
