Clark Fork 53, Immaculate Conception 36

CLARK FORK — Just ask other teams the Wampus Cats have faced this year — they're having a hard time stopping Owen Howard.

The Clark Fork High junior produced a game-high 18 points and 22 rebounds for his eighth double-double of the year Thursday in a 17-point non-league win over the visiting Cristeros, which compete independently and are based out of Post Falls.

Howard also blocked five shots on the night.

"Every game that he has played a full game this year, he's had a double-double," Clark Fork High head coach Stillman Berkley said. "He's been huge, and I know tonight he wasn't feeling good, but I told him he just has to get after it. We saw some more aggression from him tonight ... there were some misses that he went back hard for (and got the putback) four or five times, and that's what we needed from him."

Fellow junior Westin Caven added 13 points and had a game-high five assists and five steals for the Wampus Cats.

"Westin did a really good job tonight and is turning over the ball less," Berkley said. "He's been more of a controlling factor offensively and defensively — he did a really good job tonight playing Dominic (Wilhelm), their best guy. He's a really good ball player."

Senior Evrett Montgomery added 12 points and nine rebounds, sophomore Mateo Cruz 10 points and three blocks in the win.

Clark Fork (2-8, 0-2) travels to Kootenai on Thursday.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Genesis Prep 56, Clark Fork 18

POST FALLS — Senior Hannah Thompson scored a team-high seven points as the visiting Lady Cats fell short of the Lady Jaguars in a 2A Scenic Idaho Conference matchup at The Courts at Real Life on Thursday.

"Jamie Herrick did an awesome job defensively on Sienna Williams," Clark Fork High head coach Chris Cavanaugh said. "She (Sienna) ended with 23 points, but I felt she had to work for them the whole time ... Genesis Prep really gets after the ball and it took us awhile to settle down. They're a well-coached team."

Freshman Keira Gannon and junior Kathi Rupp added four points each for Clark Fork (4-11, 0-5), which hosts Kellogg for senior night Wednesday.
