Summary

Sam Runkle and Melody Kempton led the way as Post Falls dispatched visiting Lake City 56-49 Friday in the first round of the Idaho 5A District Tournament.

Both players notched double-doubles, as Runkle tallied 19 points and 10 rebounds and Kempton collected 10 of each.

The game was close throughout, but the Trojans were able to survive thanks to three-point shooting (they had seven makes to none for the Timberwolves) and the free-throw line (where they outscored their guests 17 to 11).

Whitney Meier scored 10 points to lead LC.

Lake City will now host Coeur d'Alene on Tuesday. Post Falls will travel to Lewiston, with a trip to state as the prize for the winner.
