From the Silver Valley to the shores of Oahu, Kellogg girls basketball is taking its game across the Pacific. After a year of growth, the Wildcats return a sophomore-heavy roster with big goals: a district title and a ticket to state.
“I am so excited about the growth these girls made last season,” Nearing said. “The energy they bring and the enthusiasm to learn and grow!”
Roster Outlook
The Wildcats return seven sophomores, one junior, and senior Dani Henrikson, along with freshman Greath Angle, who Nearing says already plays with the IQ of a veteran. Henrikson will anchor the inside game with rebounding and post moves, while Angle provides versatility and offensive threat across the floor.
Players to Watch
Nearing expects contributions from every sophomore but highlighted several standouts:
Jordyn Stutzke – A third-year varsity player and one of the team’s best shooters, known for her vision and game-changing defense.
Dani Henrikson (Senior) – A rebounding machine with strong post moves and court vision.
Gretah Angle (Freshman) – A competitor with offensive versatility and poise beyond her years.
Goals and Challenges
Grangeville looms as the toughest competition in the Central Idaho League, boasting a senior-heavy squad.
“They are the ones to beat and we have our sights set on doing just that and getting ourselves a championship at Districts and a trip to State,” Nearing said.
Key Dates
A highlight of the season will be a trip to Oahu, Hawaii (Dec. 10-15), where Kellogg will play three games against similar-sized schools from across the country.
“This will be a great opportunity to test our systems against opponents we know nothing about,” Nearing explained.

I‑90 pursuit from Pinehurst ends with arrest, dogs seized
Stanton reported locating the vehicle and observing multiple traffic violations, including failure to stop before entering roadways, failure to signal turns and erratic driving through parking lots, campgrounds and city streets. When Stanton activated his overhead lights to initiate a traffic stop, Warnock did not stop and instead continued driving at slow speeds while repeatedly changing direction before entering Interstate 90 eastbound.

Kellogg sees progress in FEMA flood map dispute
In 2020, Kellogg and neighboring municipalities sought updated river flow data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, whose long‑term monitoring showed flood levels lower than those reflected in FEMA’s maps. Using that data, Kellogg submitted a Letter of Map Revision, or LOMR, to FEMA in early 2021, arguing that flood levels shown as 100‑year events would likely require flows closer to a 500‑year flood to reach projected elevations.
