ST. MARIES — Devyn Wilson had 18 kills and five aces for the St. Maries Lumberjacks in a 25-23, 25-10, 22-25, 25-20 win over the Orofino Maniacs in the Central Idaho League opener for both schools on Thursday.

“Devyn did a great job of finding the holes in the defense and putting the ball (to the floor),” St. Maries coach Rachele Asbury said. “She also had some attacks that led to kills in the front row. We came out playing super strong in the first two sets — and Game 2 is one of the best we’ve put together — and kind of backed off in the third set and it gave them an edge. We just came back with determination in the fourth set to get the win.”
