Sandpoint JV 41, Clark Fork 22

CLARK FORK — Senior Piper Scarlett netted a game-high 12 points, including a 3-pointer, freshman Vanessa Rogier recorded six points of her own, and the Lady Cats dropped a non-league game to Sandpoint's junior varsity squad on Monday night at Clark Fork High.

Sophomore Azelynn Petersen had four points, all in the second half, for Clark Fork, which trailed 18-8 at halftime, but used a 12-7 scoring advantage to close the gap to 25-20 by the end of the third quarter. A handful of conversions on fastbreaks keyed the Lady Cats' run.

"Transition offense is something we've worked on a lot this year," Clark Fork High head coach Chris Cavanaugh said. "We're not very big, but we have some athletes, so we try to get out on the run — that part looked pretty good tonight. It's tough when you're down double-digit points, all it takes is a couple of baskets and turnovers to for things to get out of hand."

Sophomore Alyssa Porter led Sandpoint's JV with 10 points while fellow sophomore Brooklyn Ducey tallied nine points of her own. Sophomore Bailey Pierson added seven points, including a 3-pointer, and sophomore Cloie Cruse also had a 3-pointer for the Lady Bulldogs, which closed out the game on a 16-2 run.

Clark Fork (4-10) will take on Kootenai at home for a non-league matchup and senior night Thursday.
