POST FALLS — Five teams from the Sandpoint Future AAU basketball club kicked off the season at the River City Basketball Tournament held Nov. 10-12 in Post Falls. All of Sandpoint’s teams impressed, but the fourth grade boys team impressed the most, winning five straight games to take home the first-place trophy.
Fourth grade boys: The Sandpoint Future fourth grade boys got off to a hot start this past weekend after winning the championship in their first tournament of the year. In their first match Friday, the team faced off against the Kellogg Wildcats and cruised to an impressive 57-7 victory, led by a 25-point night from Harper Fields.
The next round of the tournament would prove to be much more difficult, as the team squared off against Lakeland Gold. After a back-and-forth, physical game, Sandpoint edged out a 24-21 victory over the Hawks. Emerson Marshall led the way with a 15-point performance coupled by a 15-rebound evening from Rowin Macdonald. The road to the Championship would lighten up a bit as Sandpoint cruised by their next two opponents, winning 45-8 and 41-22. In both of those games, Mac Driggs provided the extra spark of energy needed to secure a spot in the finals.
