I have deep North Idaho roots and graduated from Eastern Washington University with an English degree with a creative writing emphasis with a minor in film. I worked at at the Bonner County Daily Bee before coming to work at the Bonners Ferry Herald in August 2021. I enjoy writing for the paper that my great-grandfather read and covering the same small town community that is still alive today. I cover all things Badger sports, local politics and government, community news, business, outdoors and appear on the 7Bee podcast for the Herald's update. When I'm not working I can be found reading a good book and sipping tea, knitting or attempting to sign opera. | January 20, 2022 1:00 AM
BONNERS FERRY — In a non-league contest, the Badgers nipped at the Hawks’ heels the entire game but ultimately fell to Lakeland 36-56.
The first four minutes of the game were scoreless as both teams worked into a groove. The Hawks used their full court press to get in the heads of the young Badgers and took every opportunity to pressure and even steal the ball.
While the Badgers had a number of good looks to the basket on fast breaks, they lacked execution and allowed the Hawks to outscore them in the first quarter.
The Badgers tailed at the half 19-27. The Badgers scored two back-to-back bakers, one by Braylyn Bayer, but the Badgers were unable to outscore the Hawks.
Asha Abubakari was the top scoring for the Badgers with 12 points.
The Badgers were scheduled to face Priest River on Friday, but the game has been canceled. Last time the Badgers and Spartans met, the Badgers won 63-18 and held Priest River to only six points per quarter.
