PREP BASKETBALL: Clark Fork girls take down Noxon on senior night

I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | January 24, 2024 8:15 PM

CLARK FORK — The Wampus Cats pulled away in the second quarter and never looked back, defeating the Red Devils by 13 at Clark Fork High on Wednesday night.
Head coach Jordan Adams said her four seniors really helped to get the job done.
“It was not our best game ever, but we got the win,” Adams said. “Lily (Reuter) handled the ball with finesse, ease and control. Eloise (Shelton) made a three-pointer with just a few seconds left at the end of the game. Amari (Printz-Hay) had some good looks. Farrah (Boehme) played most of the game and really picked it up on the offensive end towards the end of the second half.”
Adams said junior Hannah Thompson and sophomores Priscilla Mayorga and Piper Scarlett also played key roles in the victory.
“... Piper had a nice three-pointer. Hannah had a number of plays at the basket and took really good care of the basketball. Priscilla also hopped in and got us some momentum going at one point,” Adams said.
Thompson led Clark Fork with a team-high 14 points while seniors Reuter (11), Shelton (7), and Printz-Hay (6), combined for 24 points.
Noxon’s Maygan Swanson led the Red Devils with a game-high 19 points.
Clark Fork (5-8) travels to Noxon on Tuesday.
