PREP ROUNDUP: Lakeside boys defeat North Idaho Christian

PLUMMER - Day Day Higgins scored his 1,000th career point and was among five Knights in double-figures as host Lakeside cruised past North Idaho Christian 73-25 on Monday night.

The Knights (12-2) played without two senior starters, while the Mountain Christian League Royals were without 7-foot junior center Malachi Bullington, who is out with a knee injury.

"We're missing a couple players, so these games we're working in our bench players, trying to get them going to give us more depth," Lakeside coach James Twoteeth said.

Vander Brown led all scorers with 18 points, while Lakeside teammates Christopher Matt (13 points), Jasper Abuan (11 points) and Qwincy Hall (10 points) also scored in double figures for the Knights, who host Timberlake tonight in a makeup game.

Cruz Alliano led North Idaho Christian with 10 points.

CLARK FORK — The Wampus Cats came out strong, but were unable to slow down the Miners after the first quarter and ultimately lost in their home finale.

Early on, the Clark Fork defense was able to hold the Miners at bay. The Wampus Cats kept Wallace from scoring a basket for more than half of the first quarter.

Eventually though, the Miners found their way and took a 10-8 advantage into the second quarter. Midway through the second, the Miners went on a 10-0 run to take a 26-17 lead into halftime.

Sam Barnett had a team-high 10 points for Clark Fork (1-10), which visits Priest River on Tuesday.
