POST FALLS — Juniors Tyson Charley and Hallah Peone combined for 70 points as the visiting Knights beat the Jaguars at The Courts at Real Life to complete an undefeated run through the Scenic Idaho Conference. 

Charley hit three 3-pointers and scored 38 points, and Peone made four 3s and added 32 for Lakeside (12-5, 6-0 SIC), which used a 30-11 second quarter to build a 51-30 halftime lead. 

Spencer Farrell led four players into double figures for Genesis Prep (8-12, 3-3) with 19 points. Emmaus Nichols added 18 points, Dylan Tosh 16, Gabe Meyer 10 for the Jaguars. 

Lakeside will be the top seed to the 2A District 1 tournament, and will take on fourth-seeded Clark Fork on Monday at 6 p.m. 

If Wallace (12-7, 2-3) beats Clark Fork (4-11, 0-5) tonight in the SIC and regular-season finale, Wallace will be the No. 2 seed over Genesis Prep, based on a higher MaxPreps ranking. 

If that happens, Genesis Prep would travel to Wallace on Monday at 6 in the other first-round game. 

But first, Genesis Prep wraps up its regular season tonight at home vs. Coeur du Christ at 6.
