COEUR d’ALENE — Senior Kamryn Pickford hit a 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining to give the Timberwolves a 46-44 lead, but Grizzlies senior Cianna Legaspi answered with a 3-pointer with 5.2 remaining for the final margin.
Lake City (5-1) led 18-5 after the first quarter and 27-14 at the half.
“Our pressure defense was working well in the first half,” Lake City coach David Pratt said. “We held them to 14 points in the first half, and felt good about that. We just couldn’t hit shots in the second half, which led to us not being able to set our press. They changed the pace and did a nice job of attacking at the end of the shot clock.”

POST FALLS — Brooklynn Brennan hit four 3-pointers and scored 25 points, and the Trojans jumped out to a 22-6 lead after one quarter en route to the victory over the Warriors at The Arena.
“I was proud of the girl, they showed what they could do by working as a team,” Post Falls coach Brian Hall said. “They let it all loose tonight.”

Kayden Allen, a 6-foot senior post, came off the bench and grabbed 13 rebounds.
“Meridian had a big girl, and she played real good defense on her,” Hall said of Allen.
Meridian committed its fifth foul midway through the first quarter, triggering the new rule giving a team two free throws from the fifth foul on each quarter. Post Falls sank 11 of 16 from the line in the first quarter.
“I was really liking the new rule tonight,” Hall said.
