PREP BASKETBALL: Strock, Tomco combine for 40 in Sandpoint girls win over Lewiston

SANDPOINT – Sandpoint got out to an early lead and didn’t look back as the Bulldogs defeated Lewiston, 58-42 in an Inland Empire league match at Les Rogers Court on Saturday.

Senior Aliya Strock and freshman Jordyn Tomco both had a game-high 20 points for the Bulldogs. Tomco, who started in the absence of Karlie Banks (ankle injury), also had six rebounds and a team-high four steals in the contest.

Freshman Brecken Mire also had a standout game for the Bulldogs; she had 10 points, and added a team-high four assists and eight rebounds.

Lewiston’s Addison McKarcher posted a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds for the visiting Bengals.

“I’m really excited for the girls because we’re now 3-0 in the league and those wins have all come against 5A schools,” Love said. “I thought we played well for 32 minutes. We were missing Karlie today due to an ankle injury so some roles changed a little bit, but everyone stepped up. Aliya had a great game – and then add in Jordyn’s scoring, Brecken hit double-digits – it was a great team win.”

Sandpoint (7-1, 3-0) will play Kellogg at home on Tuesday.
