Lake City post Kyle Guice battled Hanford big man Joe Douglas inside, scoring 23 points to lead all scorers and lifting the Timberwolves to a 66-54 nonleague win over the Falcons in Coeur dAlene, Idaho.
We probably werent as fresh as we should have been, said Falcons coach Paul Mayer, whose team arrived in Coeur dAlene at 1:15 p.m. for a 6 p.m. game. We gave up too many easy baskets to a good team.
Jalen Watson led Hanford
(3-1) with 13 points, and Nick Dobken added 11 points. Douglas finished with nine.

COEUR DALENE 84, KENNEWICK 60: John Woul had 15 points and Ben Rutledge added eight points and five rebounds, but Kennewick (0-3) lost the battle inside against the visiting Vikings.
They did a nice job, Lions coach Bradyn Leyde said of Coeur dAlene. They shot the ball well and hit the boards hard. Their size gave us some issues, but we have to push through it. In league we are going to be smaller than some people.
Tony Nacarrato, the Vikings 6-foot-4 post, had 15 points.

Were learning lessons every game, Chiawana coach Chad Herron said. Its part of being young and inexperienced. I do think were getting better for it.
