Sandpoint 65, Lewiston 63

SANDPOINT, Idaho — Leading through three quarters, Lewiston narrowly succumbed to host Sandpoint in the fourth to suffer a season-ending defeat in the opening round of its Idaho Class 5A district tournament.

The Bengals (7-14), who had dropped both of their previous meetings with the Bulldogs (12-10) this season by double-digit margins, raised the prospect of an upset as they took a 16-10 opening-quarter lead. They were up 33-29 at halftime and 52-48 through three quarters, but saw the hosts surge past them in the closing stages of the game. Addy McKarcher led Lewiston with 25 points, while Emery McKarcher (11 points) and Breanna Albright (10) made their own double-digit contributions, but the Bengals were unable to stop Sandpoint’s Brecken Mire, who lifted the Bulldogs to victory with 36 points.

“We are so proud of their grit and effort,” Lewiston coach Julie Fisher said.
