Glacier 46
KALISPELL, Mont. - Coeur d'Alene High overcame some hurried shots and an opponent's height advantage for a 60-46 victory at Glacier High on Monday.
Seniors Brittany Tackett (18 points, six rebounds) and Sara Chalich (17 points, four steals) helped the Vikings pull away from one of western Montana's stronger teams, assistant coach Lindsey Stark said.
"Toward the end of the game, we slowed down our offense and were more patient," Stark said. "They started 6-foot-1, 6-0, 5-11 players - they were really tall. It was a good road trip for us."
Hallee Bennett led the Wolfpack (5-3) with 13 points.
