St. Maries 62

Sandpoint 57

ST. MARIES — Parker Childs made two 3-pointers, Randy Lane one early in the third quarter to put the visiting Bulldogs up 37-36.

“We called timeout and focused on defending the 3 better,” St. Maries coach Bryan Chase said after the Lumberjacks re-took the lead and held on for the nonleague win. “Our defensive energy was better in the second half; we buckled down when we needed some stops.”

Tristan Gentry-Nelson totaled 21 points and eight rebounds for St. Maries (17-3). Coleman Ross added 12 points (nine in the second half)and five assists, Greyson Sands four steals.

“He (Ross) was really aggressive getting to the basket,” Chase said.

Lane had 13 points, Arie VanDenBerg 12 for Sandpoint (5-16).

St. Maries shot 23 of 42 from the field. The Lumberjacks shot just five 3s, all in the first half, making one.

St. Maries is idle until hosting the 2A District 1-2 championship game next Thursday, vs. the winner of Tuesday’s game between Grangeville and Orofino.

Sandpoint plays at Lakeland on Monday at 6 p.m. in the loser-out first round of the 4A Region 1 tournament.
