PREP ROUNDUP: Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene to meet for 5A regional volleyball title
VOLLEYBALL
COEUR d’ALENE — Defensively, it was one of the best matches that Coeur d’Alene coach Carly Curtis had seen from her team this season.
Offensively, it wasn’t too bad either.
Madi Symons had 26 kills and 16 digs, Maicy Nelson and Skylar Burke eight kills each for the third-seeded Vikings in a 25-23, 21-25, 25-21, 25-16 win over the second-seeded Lake City Timberwolves in the opening round of the 5A Region 1 tournament at Lake City High on Saturday.
“We were able to get some balls up and had some players play well offensively,” Curtis said. “We had a lot of positive things on our side. We just kept fighting throughout the match.”
Olivia Dixon had 10 digs, Hailey Wuolle 30 assists and four aces for Coeur d’Alene (11-10), which plays at Post Falls in the regional title match on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
“We started off pretty tight and they stole the momentum,” Lake City coach Michelle Kleinberg said. “Coeur d’Alene was really tough and played consistently all the way through the match. They played great.”
Aubrey Stennett had 13 digs and three aces, Allie Bowman 11 digs, Nellie Reese 21 assists and 14 kills and Hanah Stoddard 20 kills for Lake City (14-6), which hosts Lewiston in a loser-out match on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
“We really struggled from the service line today,” Kleinberg said. “When we were trying to claw back into the match, we had some errors, and that was kind of a gut punch.”
“Lake City is a really good team and threw some things at us,” Curtis said. “Hanah and Nellie are great hitters. But our girls just kept battling. It was a great team match.”

CLARK FORK — Sophomore Eloise Shelton tallied nine aces and five kills as the Wampus Cats wrapped up an undefeated season in North Star League play by sweeping the Warriors 25-8, 25-15, 25-18.
"I had her start jump serving after we played Noxon [on Sept. 30]," Clark Fork coach Michelle Valliere said. "I said, 'Hey, why don't you try doing some jump serving, let's see what you can do,' and she's been doing it ever since and she's nailing it. It's working out really well."
Paige Valliere tallied 13 assists and Katelyn Matteson had five digs for Clark Fork (12-6, 4-0 NSL), which returns to action Thursday at 6 p.m. at North Idaho College in the championship match of the 1A Division II District 1 tournament.

“We were missing both our middles today but the girls adjusted and played hard until the very end,” Kootenai coach Kaili Gentry said.
Kootenai plays Mullan on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at NIC in the first round of the 1A Division II District 1 tournament. The winner plays Clark Fork on Thursday for a berth to state.
FOOTBALL

CLARK FORK — Nathan Shelton and Cole Sanroman each returned an interception for a touchdown as the Wampus Cats beat the Warriors for their first North Star League victory.
Carter Sanroman tallied four touchdowns, including three on the ground, for Clark Fork (5-2, 1-2 NSL) on senior day.
"The whole week was about playing as hard as we can for the seniors," Clark Fork coach Brian Arthun said, "and I was really proud of the way they performed in their last game here in Clark Fork."
Charlie Orford passed for a touchdown and ran for another for Kootenai (0-6, 0-2). The Warriors were shorthanded on Saturday, taking the field with only eight players. Just over a minute into the second half, Kootenai lost a player due to injury and the two league foes played seven-man football the rest of the game.
Kootenai is scheduled to play at Mullan on Friday.
Clark Fork returns to action Oct. 29 at Kootenai in the regular season finale.
