PASCO, Wash. — Playing for the first time in 14 days, the visiting Timberwolves led by double digits, then fell behind by four points with six minutes left, then closed the game on a 16-4 run to beat the Riverhawks in nonleague play.

“I liked just us fighting through,” Lake City coach James Anderson said. “We got cold from the floor, and we had to do it a different way. We amped up the pressure. I liked that we got down and it pushed us to see how we responded.”

Kendall Pickford hit five 3-pointers and led Lake City (14-1) with 15 points. Emberlyn Reynolds added 13 points, Sophia Zufelt 10 for the Timberwolves.

RATHDRUM — Addie Kiefer had 27 points, 10 rebounds, five steals and four assists for the Hawks, who held off the Scotties in overtime in a nonleague game at Hawk Court.

“We pushed it to a five-point lead in overtime and Freeman chipped away,” said Lakeland coach Steve Seymour, whose team went 1 for 9 from the free throw line in overtime. “We had a chance to get out of there a little earlier, but it was a good win for us.”

Kiefer scored 13 of her 27 points in the first quarter for Lakeland.

“We forced a few turnovers and did a good job of attacking the basket,” Seymour said. “Freeman did a good job of taking away what was working in the first quarter. It was really a back and forth game.”
