Senior Madi Schoening added 15 points, three assists and three steals for the Bulldogs, who scored 20 second-quarter points to blow the game open.

“It was a typical first game,” Sandpoint coach Duane Ward said. “It wasn’t really pretty, but we hustled and played hard.”

MULLAN — Kayla Miller scored 12 points for the Wildcats in a win over the Jaguars in the championship game of the Silver Valley tournament at the Mullan Pavilion.

“We got down a little bit, but bounced back,” Kellogg coach Eli Bourgard said. “I thought we did a good job with our interior defense and our bench played some big minutes.”

Shaye Schreibeis scored 16 points, while Rachel Schroeder added 12 points, Bella Murekatete scored five points and 13 rebounds and Josie Scribner had eight rebounds for Genesis Prep, which played with only six players.

“I thought the kids played real well,” Genesis Prep coach Debbie Holte said. “We’re only playing with six girls. We stayed with Kellogg, we ran out of gas in the second half and one of our players played sick. I was really proud of how we played.”
