Timberlake whips Orofino, then Grangeville

OROFINO — Cody Bentley had four goals and an assist for the Tigers in a 9-1 Intermountain League win over the Orofino Maniacs, then scored 25 seconds into a 3-0 nonleague victory later in the day over the Grangeville Bulldogs at Orofino High.

“Our defense was much better than in the opener,” Timberlake coach Bert Bentley said. “We still need some help back there, but we were able to pretty much do whatever we needed to offensively. Grangeville was definitely a good match for us. They played really well for a team that just got going again. Our guys were getting extremely tired and couldn’t get anything going. We were just trying to get through the game and they definitely had their shots against us.”

Allison Kirby scored unassisted goals in the 70th and 74th minute to even the score at 2 for Timberlake.

“Allison had a chance to make some great runs,” Michael said. “We just didn’t finish the match.”
