Badger Boys win in overtime
The Bonners Ferry Badger Boys' basketball team
won a hard-fought match against the 5A Coeur
d'Alene Junior Varsity squad last night in Coeur
d'Alene. Bonners Ferry held the lead in the
closing seconds of the game, until Coeur
d'Alene's Jake Grinde hit a three pointer to
throw Coeur d'Alene's home crowd into a frenzy
and the game into overtime.
Once in overtime, Bonners Ferry took control,
finishing of the Junior Vikings by a score of
53-46.
Caleb Blackmore led the Badger scoring with 16
points, followed closely by Wyatt Nelson with
15. Collin Stone put in 12 points, and Kaleb
Stockton had 7. Pat O'Hara added 3 for the
Badgers.
The Badger Boys' team is on the road again
tonight against Intermountain League rival
Timberlake.
Badger Girls knock off #1 team in
overtime
Throughout the season, the Timberlake Tigers
have been on top of the poll as the number one
ranked 3A girls' team in Idaho, having won all
their games except for two games against larger
metropolitan Spokane schools, and running
undefeated through their Intermountain League
conference.
Until they ran up against the Bonners Ferry
Badgers last Tuesday, February 3. Bonners Ferry
defeated Timberlake's Tigers in overtime 68-63.
The Badger girls, who started the Intermountain
League season 0-3, have now come back to defeat
each of the other teams in the League, including
Kellogg and Priest River who have both also
spent time in the state's top five polls. The
Badger girls have now claimed a tie for second
place in the Intermountain League, going into
the District Tournament which begins on Monday,
February 9.
In defeating Idaho's #1 team, the Badger girls
presented a balanced scoring attack, which
overcame the 32 points of Timberlake's Allison
Kirby (fifteen of those points coming on three
point shots). For the Badgers, Savannah Woods
again had a double-double with 17 points to go
with her collection of 10 rebounds. Jasmine Hill
also scored 17, while Kerstin Oxford put in 13.
Abby Skeen scored 10 points and had 6 assists,
and freshman Miranda Wenk had 5. Abby Davis,
Jaiden Everhart, and Regan Byers scored two
points each.
In girls' basketball action last Saturday,
January 31, Bonners Ferry fell to Stillwater
Christian in a close match, 39-36. In that game,
Kerstin Oxford led the Badger scorers with 9
points.
The Badger Girls' JV team finished their season
with yet another win, as they defeated the
Timberlake JVs. The Girls' JV Badgers finish
their season with 19 wins and a single loss.
Next up for the BFHS Girls' Varsity team is the
District Tournament. Their first game in the
tournament is Monday, February 9, against the
Priest River Spartans. The game will be at the
North Idaho College gym, and begins at 4:30 p.m. |
