Junior middie Levi Reynolds scored a game-high three goals to lead second-seeded Timberline to an 8-5 victory over top-seeded Boise in the Treasure Valley Lacrosse League championship game Saturday afternoon at Eagle High School.

Senior middie Panos Panayiotou added three points on two goals and one assist to help the Wolves (15-6) win their second straight TVLL title. Timberline, the defending state champion, has now won six league championships.

“I’m extremely proud of my guys,” Timberline head coach Tom Blanchard said. “All season long, we went into every game knowing we were going to get every team’s best because we’re the defending state champion. Getting every team’s best everyday ended up pushing us to be a better team this year.”

With the victory, Timberline advanced to the third-annual Idaho state championship game. The Wolves will face North Idaho Lacrosse League champion Lake City next Saturday, May 29, at 1 p.m., PDT, in Coeur d’Alene. It will be the teams’ first meeting of the season and a rematch of last year’s title game.

On Saturday, senior middie Cody Cantrell, junior middie Nick Cox, and sophomore attackman Nash Cantrell all scored once, and sophomore attackman Andrew Rusin had an assist to round out the offense for Timberline.

Defensively, sophomore goalie Keven Brown saved seven shots.

In defeat, junior Sayre Thomas scored twice for Boise (15-3), which had its 13-game winning streak snapped. Boise lost to an in-state opponent for the first time this season.

Timberline led 3-0 at the end of the first quarter, 4-0 at halftime and 6-3 at the end of the third quarter.

Boise came back to close within two goals at 7-5 after Xantis Tullis-See scored his only goal with 1:10 remaining in regulation. But Panayiotou put the finishing touches on the win when he restored Timberline’s three-goal lead with 27 seconds to play.

“We played a great defensive game,” Boise head coach Sean St. Johns said. “Offensively, we just didn’t put the ball where it needed to be, in the back of the cage. They were definitely the better team today. We just didn’t take advantage of the opportunities we had shooting.”
