Lakeside tops North Idaho Christian

- BOYS

COEUR d’ALENE — Talon Twoteeth scored a team-high 15 points for Lakeside, which bounced back from a slow start to beat North Idaho Christian 64-50 in a nonleague game at Holy Family Catholic School on Thursday.

“It took us a bit to get going again,” Lakeside coach James Twoteeth said. “We had trouble getting shots to fall in the first four to five minutes, and then they started falling for us. Talon stepped up and hit some big shots for us and rebounded really well.”

Day Day Higgins scored 13 points for Lakeside (2-0), which travels to Garfield-Palouse on Saturday.

Cross Pilgrim scored 20 points for North Idaho Christian (1-1), which faces Christian Heritage on Tuesday at Holy Family Catholic School.
