Junior Taren Bateman scored 23 points, freshman Jaycee Bateman added 20 as Bonners Ferry outscored the Stillwater Christian Cougars in each quarter to record a dominant 71-38 win on Saturday, Dec. 6 

The Badgers play next at home against Lakeland on Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. 

Freshman Bristol Hill scored 11 points to record double digits in points for the first time in her career and junior Eva Willis had nine points and eight rebounds in a fierce display in the post. 

The Badgers ran out to a fast start, leading 16-10 at the end of the first quarter, before a 17-9 run in the second quarter stretched the lead to 14 points by the half. 

That lead reached 19 points in the third quarter. The fourth quarter turned the game into a blowout, as Bonners Ferry scored 19 points, only allowing 5.  

It was a much better passing display for the Badgers in the game, as they limited turnovers while sharp passing was a feature throughout.  

Taren Bateman had seven steals and five assists, both team highs to go with a 57% field goal percentage on her 23 points. 

Willis shot four from six from the field, while Hill and Jaycee Bateman had at least a 50% field goal percentage each. It was Jaycee Bateman’s first 20-point game of her career. 

Senior Alexys Mierke scored six points and junior Nolie Hiatt had seven rebounds and four steals. 

Bonners Ferry moves to 2-3 on the season.
