Kellogg wins, wins and wins
- GIRLS BASKETBALL
KELLOGG — Hailey Cheney had 16 points and 11 rebounds as the Kellogg Wildcats defeated the St. Maries Lumberjacks 46-39 in the Brawl for the Ball spirit game Saturday at Andrews Gymnasium.
“I thought we ran our offense really well,” Kellogg coach Jana Nearing-Kothe said. “I thought Taeya Sheppard played really good defense tonight as well. We used our posts and guards, really slowed things down, and played organized basketball.”
Erin VanHoose scored nine points for Kellogg (9-10), which faces Bonners Ferry in the opening round of the 3A District 1 tournament on Wednesday at Timberlake High.
Kaci Haeg scored 16 points and Madison Cordell 13 points for St. Maries (11-8), which faces Orofino in a loser-out game in the 2A District 1-2 tournament on Monday at Deary High.
Kellogg won “The Ball” spirit competition, with the schools bringing in a combined 40,000 pounds of food to go to their local food banks.
“It was the biggest point spread we’ve had, and usually the food (drive) decides it,” Nearing-Kothe said. “It was really impressive by both schools.”

Lewiston 76
Lakeland 75 (2OT)
LEWISTON — Ben Zubaly scored a team-high 20 points, and Josiah Haaland added 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Hawks in a nonleague loss to the Bengals at Booth Hall.
“I thought the guys played extremely hard defensively,” Lakeland assistant coach Tom Neilson said. “We got behind in the third quarter, but fought hard to get back into it. Both Ben and Jeret (Taylor) were great defensively, but we just came up a little short down the stretch.”
Taylor and Cole Strietzel scored 15 points each for Lakeland (6-10), which hosts Timberlake next Saturday.
Donaven Santana scored 30 points for Lewiston (7-11), which won by three points at Lakeland on Jan. 3.
“They were looking to get him the ball tonight,” Neilson said of Santana. “They win or lose with him playing well, and he played well tonight.”

Moscow 71
Sandpoint 44
MOSCOW — Senior guard Gabe Quinnett scored 17 of his 32 points in the second quarter and the Bears cruised past the Bulldogs in 4A Inland Empire League play at Bear Den.
“Moscow is in first place for a reason,” Sandpoint coach Wade Engelson said of the Bears (11-3, 4-0 4A IEL), who completed an unbeaten league slate with the win. “They’re a really good team and they execute their stuff on the high level.”
Although both teams took a few possessions to find their rhythms in the first quarter, Moscow came out with a balanced offensive attack and ferocity on the boards. Four different Bears got on the board in the first quarter, while Ben Postell (four points, a game-high 10 rebounds) and Benny Kitchel (seven points, four rebounds) helped Moscow hold Sandpoint (7-9, 0-3) to one shot attempt on the other end. Meanwhile, Sandpoint junior guard Ryan Roos kick-started Sandpoint’s offense with 3s on back-to-back possessions.
“[Roos] got off to a fast start,” Engelson said. “He’s a very skilled, athletic player who can make plays for himself.”
Quinnett came alive in the second quarter by scoring Moscow’s first six points. Sandpoint racked up fouls and put Moscow into the bonus early in the quarter, which favored Quinnett; the senior went 8 for 8 from the free-throw line in that quarter alone.
Moscow shot 25 for 44 (56.8 percent) from the field. Sandpoint took the same amount of shots, but only hit 14 while turning the ball over 12 times.
The Bulldogs were led by Roos and fellow junior Kobe Banks, who finished with 16 and 12 points, respectively. Alex Stockton added nine points, eight rebounds and three steals for Sandpoint. Moscow senior Derek Rauch-Edwards finished with 10 points and a team-high four assists.
Sandpoint hosts Lake City on Wednesday.
