• BOYS BASKETBALL

LAPWAI — The host Lapwai Wildcats made 9 of 11 from the 3-point line in the first quarter to beat the St. Maries Lumberjacks 86-56 in a nonleague game at Lapwai High on Tuesday.

“We just couldn’t recover after giving them some open looks,” said St. Maries coach Bryan Chase, whose team trailed 30-12 after the first quarter. “I thought we had a good defensive gameplan and did a good job of playing with them in the final three quarters. But when you get into a hole like that, it’s tough to dig out of.”

Tristan Gentry-Nelson scored 15 points, Greyson Sands 12 points for St. Maries (13-3), which plays at Orofino on Friday.

Kase Wynott scored 28 points, Titus Yearout 17 points for Lapwai (20-0), which made 16 3-pointers on the night.
