PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL: Coeur d'Alene gets going late in opener
MERIDIAN — Leading 24-23 at halftime, Coeur d’Alene turned to what got them to the top of the 5A ranks last season.
“We went into halftime, took 10 deep breaths, relaxed and just came back out and took care of the ball,” said Coeur d’Alene coach Nicole Symons, whose team outscored host Owyhee 34-21 in the second half of a 60-44 win on Wednesday night. “We just didn’t play so frantic. Owyhee played hard and were doubling on our ball screens and were just throwing everything at us in the first half. We still don’t really know what our identity is yet. We’re the defending state champs, but we’re not the same team.”
