? Wallace 60, Clark Fork 47

Bailey Hewitt had 19 points, eight rebounds and five steals in a losing effort as the Clark Fork girls fell in North Star League action in Wallace Tuesday night.

"We ran out of gas," said coach Dexter Vogel, who only had 12 girls to play a varsity/JV doubleheader against the defending league champion Miners (6-8, 2-1). "Our girls hustled and never gave up, Wallace just scored too many inside against us."

Freshman Shaina Gustafson had 13 points and five steals, and Rayna Allen tallied 12 points, five steals and three assists for the Cats (2-10, 0-4) in the loss. Mandy Martin had two and Megan Hess one to round out the scoring as the Cats played with a short bench.
