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. | December 7, 2023 4:30 PM

BONNERS FERRY—- In non league play, the Badgers (2-3) spirited past the Roger Pirates, from Spokane, WA on Dec. 6, leading 17-2 in the first quarter with freshman Taren Bateman earning 11 of her 27 points in the first.

Fresh off a loss from Deer Park the night before, the Badgers worked the defense looking for openings, executed on fast breaks and earned six of their 14 steals in the first. 

They went on a seven-point run against the Pirates in the second quarter. The Badgers littered the score board and led 45-9 into halftime. 

The Badgers spread the ball and points, with senior Asha Abubakari earning 13 points, including two three-points, and junior Brooke Petesch earned eight points, including two three-pointers. 

The Badgers won 71-22. For the first time this season, every Badger scored. 

Assistant coach Paula Petesch stepped in as coach for the game. She said the team was focusing on moving the ball and making good shots, instead of quick shots.

“We wanted to run down the clock more,” she said. 

The Badgers will be on the road at East Valley in Spokane, WA, on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. 

BF: 17 28 16 10—71
