Blackhawks Give Up Spot At Top Of League

Boys basketball

Lewiston had its eyes on first place, and Cheney didn’t have all of its eyes.

Cheney’s leading scorer, Paul Malisani, took a finger to the eye in the first half and missed the rest of Saturday’s Border League game, a 62-52 win for visiting Lewiston (12-3, 9-2).

Malisani experienced blurry vision but is expected to return soon.

The 10th-ranked Blackhawks (12-3, 9-2) gave up first place to Coeur d’Alene, a winner over Clarkston. Cheney cut into Lewiston’s 20-point, third-quarter lead in the fourth but couldn’t come closer than six.
