Newport Stops Lakeside’S Run

GNL girls basketball

Newport put an end to three years of frustration and one of the state’s longest winning streaks on Friday.

Carey Sauer totaled 23 points and 16 rebounds, and her sister Rose added five 3-pointers as the Grizzlies defeated visiting Lakeside 82-68 to end the Eagles’ 34-game winning streak.

Lakeside, the defending State 2A champion, was ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press poll while Newport was No. 4.

Carey Sauer, a senior, had been 0-8 against Lakeside in a stellar career that includes more than 1,650 points.

Lakeside never led again after taking a 4-3 edge. Newport hit 33 of 65 shots from the field, including 8 of 13 3-pointers.

Mary Lindburg added 10 rebounds and Halee Haptonstall eight assists for Newport. Lakeside’s Julia Vojtech, who has been nursing a sore shoulder, scored 28 points.

The Eagles’ last loss was Dec. 6, 1997, to Lake City of Coeur d’Alene.
