"It was nice to see Kiylah shoot the ball tonight," Clark Fork High head coach Chris Cavanaugh said of Anderson. "I have been really been getting after her to keep shooting with confidence, and it finally came around. Piper's 3-pointer is what really got us going — we had 11 points forever... it was awesome see her do that on senior night."

Coach Cavanaugh, formerly a head coach of the junior high girls basketball team at Clark Fork, has coached Scarlett since sixth grade and senior Priscilla Mayorga since seventh.

"To see them go from kids on the junior high team to the two girls that led the way on the high school team has been been cool to see," coach Cavanaugh said of Scarlett and Mayorga. "I'm really proud of the maturity and leadership those two have showed."
