PLUMMER — Junior Thomas Bateman hit six 3-pointers and scored 22 points to lead the Bonners Ferry Badgers past the Lakeside Knights 73-65 in a matchup of two of the top teams in their classifications Saturday at Ron Miller Court.

Sophomore Tyson Charley scored 16 points for Lakeside (6-1), last year’s state 1A Division I champions).

“We knew it would be a tough game,” said Lakeside coach James Twoteeth, whose team was playing for the first time since Dec. 21. “They are a good-sized team; all of them can shoot pretty well. We needed that game.”

Lakeside led 48-44 before Bonners Ferry took the lead with a 14-2 run. The Badgers then sealed the game by hitting 12 of 12 free throws in the final 1:28.

“They just got to the loose balls,” Twoteeth said of the Badgers’ run. “There was a stretch there where they got three offensive rebounds and put them in.”

Bonners Ferry plays at Sandpoint on Wednesday.

Lakeside is home vs. Clark Fork on Thursday.
