PABLO - Charlo’s Kinley Pope and Two Eagle River’s Shandeen Belinger each scored 14 points and the Girls A team used a 16-0 run to start the game en route to a 55-36 victory over the B team in the Mission Valley All-Star Game on Friday, March 23.

Belinger also added 11 rebounds to complete the double double in the win, while Pope, her Viking teammate Rachel Hoyt and Hot Springs’ Alyssa Foster added nine.

Two Eagle’s Nina Orozco led the B team with 11 points, displaying dazzling behind-the-back and ankle-breaking moves to free herself up. Ronan’s Raymi Clairmont and Charlo’s Deondra Brown both scored six points, while Arlee’s Alexis Shick led her team with seven boards.

Team A led 16-0 out of the gates and maintained a comfortable lead throughout thanks in part to Pope, Belinger and Mission’s Stephanie Lewandowski, who combined for 22 points and 20 rebounds in the first half. Team B was able to cut the deficit to 13 on a few occasions thanks to nine combined first-half points from Orozco and Brown, but Team A led 31-12 at halftime.

In the second half, Team A kept their foot on the gas, using a 19-9 run to build a 50-21 advantage. Team B chipped away from there, getting seven second-half points from Orozco, four from Clairmont and Mission’s Loren Erickson and two from Polson’s Macall Banner, closing the game on a 15-5 run.
