PREP BASKETBALL: Lakeland girls win at Timberlake for first time since 2012-13 season

• GIRLS

SPIRIT LAKE — Junior Landree Simon scored 15 points, including the go-ahead layup with 1:20 remaining, and the visiting Lakeland Hawks won at Timberlake for the first time in 11 seasons, beating the Tigers 47-42 on Thursday night in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Lila Kiefer added 14 points for Lakeland (10-8), which last won at Timberlake on Nov. 29, 2012.

“For us to be able to start winning games against (Timberlake), that shows we’re doing the right thing,” Lakeland coach Tyrel Derrick said. 

Kyla Holte had 11 rebounds for the Hawks, Lila Kiefer eight assists, Karstyn Kiefer seven steals.

“I’m so proud of our girls, this was a collective team effort,” Derrick said. “Landree and Lila led from the front, scoring. Payton (Sterling) and Kyla do so many things defensively — dirty work that doesn’t show up in the box score.”

Diana Nelson scored 12 points, Sophia Soumas 10 for Timberlake (14-5), which jumped out to a 16-8 first-quarter lead.

The Tigers led by six points midway through the fourth quarter before Lakeland rallied.

“We turned the ball over a lot,” Timberlake coach Matt Miller said.

On Monday, Lakeland plays host to Moscow in the loser-out first round of the 4A Region 1 tournament, and Timberlake plays host to Bonners Ferry in Game 1 of a best-of-3 series for the 3A District 1 title.
