CLARK FORK — Senior Nate Nesbitt scored a season-high 25 points and nabbed five steals, and Clark Fork dominated the fourth quarter to register a 50-36 North Star League boys basketball win over Mullan Monday night in Clark Fork.

The Wampus Cats (2-4, 1-0 NSL) outscored Mullan 17-1 in a pivotal fourth quarter, and registered 19 team steals in their league opener.

“Best game by far this year, I’m really proud of them,” said Cats coach Corey Vogel. “We got down by four in the third quarter and roared right back. We played really well together, passed the ball and got transition buckets.”

Stillman Berkley posted a double-double with 11 points and 10 boards, Zach Klein added seven points, six rebounds and four steals, and D.J. Jackson seven points and four steals for the Cats.

Trevor Henderson scored 13 points to lead the Tigers in defeat.
