WALLACE — Kolby Luna hit 4 of 6 3-pointers, including a three-quarter-court shot at the halftime buzzer, to spark the Wildcats to a victory over the Trojan junior varsity in the first round of the Silver Valley Tournament.
Luna finished with 15 points and seven rebounds for Kellogg (1-1), which gave first-year coach Mike Martin his first varsity coaching victory. The former Clark Fork High star and former basketball official coached the Coeur d’Alene JV boys the past two seasons.
“It feels good; it feels a whole lot better than Wednesday,” said Martin, referring to the Wildcats’ season-opening 63-28 loss to Lakeland. “Tonight we shot the ball really well, and came out and competed on the defensive end real well.”
Kellogg will play Priest River (2-0), which defeated Wallace 61-54, in the championship game today at 1:30 p.m. Wallace will face the Post Falls JV at noon for the consolation title.
Riply Luna and Luke Frohlich added eight points each for Kellogg, which finished 7 of 11 from 3-point range, and 7 of 8 from the foul line.
Langan Naylor led the Post Falls JV with seven points.

ST. MARIES — The host Lumberjacks trailed by 25 points early in the second half, then rallied to within 12 with 3 ½ minutes left in the nonleague loss to the Badgers.
Freshman Asha Abubakari scored 13 of her game-high 17 points in the first half for Bonners Ferry, and teammate Holly Ansley scored nine of her 14 in the first two quarters. The Badgers scored the first six points of the second half to lead 42-17.
“They badly outrebounded us in the first half, and we had to be close to 20 turnovers in the first half,” St. Maries coach Gary Krumheuer said. “They just pounded us on the boards in the first half. We toughened up a little bit in the second half.”
Jenna Holder scored 12 points to lead St. Maries (2-3), which opens Central Idaho League play next Friday at home vs. Orofino.
