Since then, Moscow won four straight district titles, then Sandpoint won the next five ... Ryan, a 6-foot-3 lefty, is a double-double machine — and often is a triple-double threat because of her shot-blocking ability. She holds down the fort in the middle of Lakeland’s offense and defense, and is surrounded by experienced players like Cooper, Elpers, Loutzenhiser and seniors Izzy Kirk and Alaina Pruitt. ... Lakeland won back-to-back state 3A titles in 2001 and ’02, as well as a state A-2 crown in 1989.

Notes: The Panthers have been one of the best 3A teams over the past three years during the regular season. They are 57-14 (.803).

They are district champions, highly ranked at No.2 and have the third longest winning streak in the state at 21 games. Melba is also doing so in dominating fashion. The Mustangs have an average margin of victory of 18.5 points per game. What’s even more impressive is they are doing it all without two-time 2A WIC Player of the Year, Kori Pentzer, who is now at Weber State. But the questions is, can Melba show up when it matters most after two disappointing losses the last two seasons? NNU signee Emma Clark is the leader in points (15.1), rebounds (5.6), assists (6.1) and steals at 7.3. Younger sister Kate Clark is averaging 13.7 points with five rebounds, while Cossell is the top rebounder at 11 per game.
