Mt. Spokane (6-7, 4-4) had a potential goal taken away by officials late in the second half. In the 78th minute, the Wildcats headed in the ball for what appeared to be a game-tying goal, but officials ruled that Cushman was interfered with and stripped Mt. Spokane of the goal.

Yasen arrested

Corissa Yasen, one of the most high profiled athletes in Coeur d’Alene High School history, was arrested for drunken driving late Friday in Coeur d’Alene.

Yasen, 26, also was cited for leaving the scene of an accident after she drove her 1999 Toyota 4-Runner into a tree near her home about 11 p.m.

An assistant in both girls basketball and track at Lake City High School, Yasen twice blew a .15 on a blood-alcohol test, police reports show. Idaho law considers a person legally drunk at .08.

Yasen hit a tree, according to the report. She told police she struck “something” after swerving to avoid an animal.

Witnesses called police after the accident. Police were able to locate Yasen and her vehicle by following a trail of radiator fluid to her home.

Police said Yasen’s vehicle had extensive damage to the front end.
