• Wampus Cat boys fall to Hot Springs

Geoffry Boudousquie scored 10 points and pulled down nine boards, and Brandan Bowen added 10 points and four steals to lead the Wampus Cats, who lost 61-31 to Hot Springs in nonleague boys basketball on Saturday.

Eich Anderson scored three points to go with nine rebounds, Spencer Jeffres scored four and Conorey Vogel and Hunter Boudousquie two apiece in the loss against a solid team. Clark Fork (1-3) head coach Corey Vogel was pleased with his team’s effort, as his squad played well in stretches, outscoring Hot Springs in the third quarter.

The Wampus Cat bigs were blocking out well and controlling the glass, and Bowen and Vogel handled the full court press much of the night.

“We started a little slow, but held our own during the second and third quarters,” described Vogel. “Our confidence was showing on the court and it was fun to watch, but Hot Springs started pouring in the shots in the fourth and ran away with it. The subs played well when they were in, and everyone got to play.”

Clark Fork is at Mullan tonight for a North Star League opener.
