PREP ROUNDUP: Brown's late TD, defensive stand leads Lakeside past Lewis County
• FOOTBALL
WORLEY - Vander Brown scored his fifth TD of the night in the fourth quarter, and Lakeside made a last-minute defensive stand to hold off visiting Lewis County 30-26 on Friday night in the season opener for both teams.
Brown had 291 yards rushing on 21 attempts, the last of those a 21-yard score that put the Knights ahead by four with 3:30 remaining.
The Eagles drove to the Lakeside 10-yard-line before the Knights defense stiffened and to preserve the victory.
"It was a good team effort defensively," Lakeside coach Chris Dohrman said. "We had a good first half, but didn't do a good job on our 2-point conversions, and we had a few mistakes that let them back into the game."
Ty Hambly rushed for 274 yards and two TDs for Lewis County.
Linebacker Jonathan Sperber led the Knights in tackles, Dohrman said. Tucker Sanchez threw for a touchdown for Lakeside, which travels to Deary next week.

South Fremont 27, Timberlake 12
ST. ANTHONY - All-state quarterback Kaimen Peebles and the host Cougars made a few more big plays and held off Timberlake in Friday's season opener for both schools.
"He's a solid kid, very physical, and made some big plays running and throwing," Tigers coach Kelly Amos said. "We were able to throw the ball well, but we just couldn't get off the field."
Wallace 46
Kootenai 42
HARRISON FLATS — The host Warriors nearly delivered a victory to Jake Pfeiffer in his first game as head coach at his alma mater, but the Miners scored with less than 3 minutes remaining to capture the nonleague season opener for both teams.
Landon Streeter’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Teagan Goldale gave Wallace the lead for good.
Charles Orford passed for three touchdowns and ran for one for Kootenai, which was seeking its first win since the 2018 season. The Warriors did not play in 2019 because of low numbers, and were 0-5 in their COVID-19 shortened 2020 season.
“Definitely excited that we stayed in it, and that we had a chance to win it,” Pfeiffer said. “It was good to be in a position to win.”
Orford was 9 of 16 passing for 176 yards, and rushed for 42 yards on nine carries. Carter McGann caught seven passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns. Carter McGann ran for 78 yards on eight carries.
Liam Murdock ran for three touchdowns for Wallace.
Next Friday, Kootenai travels to Kendrick, and Wallace plays host to Clark Fork.
