PREP ROUNDUP: Timberlake girls top Lakeland again

• GIRLS BASKETBALL

RATHDRUM — Timberlake opened the season with a four-point win against visiting Lakeland on Nov. 17.

On Thursday, the Tigers caught their district rivals again behind freshman Malia Miller’s 21 points in a 43-40 win over the Hawks at Hawk Court.

“Malia is an impressive player for a freshman,” Lakeland coach Tyrel Derrick said. “She’s still able to get her shots and looks at the basket when she’s the one being keyed on. She got the basket and made some nice plays.”

Miller scored seven of Timberlake’s 13 points to rally from a 22-21 halftime deficit.

“She’s one of the players that gets them going,” Derrick said. “You can’t rattle her. The pressure goes up, and she just doesn’t get rattled. She’s a lot of fun to watch.”

Lila Kiefer scored 10 points, Karstyn Kiefer nine for Lakeland (10-8), which hosts Moscow in a loser-out game in the 4A Region 1 tournament on Monday at 6 p.m.

“It was a good game for our girls to learn from,” Derrick said. “Timberlake just does a good job of being calm, cool and collected.”

Timberlake (18-2) hosts Bonners Ferry in Game 1 of a best-of-3 3A District 1 tournament on Monday at 7 p.m.

COEUR d’ALENE — Technically speaking, Timberwolf seniors Zach Macdonald, Blaine Leonard and Jackson Duva are focused for a long run in the postseason.

Macdonald won by technical fall at 120 pounds, as did Duva at 132 and Leonard notched a pin in 59 seconds, leading the Timberwolves to a win.

“They all performed just how I’d expect,” said Lake City coach Corey Owen, whose team received six forfeits on senior night. “Caden has been really dangerous from that top position. He was able to get a takedown, then a few more finished the match. He’s put in a lot of work and it’s paying off in that position.”

Macdonald and Leonard advanced to the finals at the North Idaho Rumble last weekend, with Macdonald winning at 120 and Leonard finishing runner-up.

“Both Zach and Blaine were super dominant,” Owen said. “Those two are trending in the right direction and continued on that path tonight.”

Lake City travels to Sandpoint on Tuesday.
