BONNERS FERRY — After leading by 14 points at the end of the first quarter, Sandpoint cruised to a 66-47 road victory over Bonners Ferry on Tuesday to start its season in the win column.
“It’s a great win for our first game of the season against a Bonners Ferry team who I believe is really going to improve over the course of this year,” head coach Will Love said.
In the first, Sandpoint’s defense was all over the Badgers. With around three minutes left in the quarter, Aliya Strock had two steals on back-to-back possessions for the Bulldogs. One of those turnovers resulted in a two-point jump shot by Brecken Mire, assisted by Strock; the other one Strock converted a coast-to-coast layup to put the Bulldogs ahead 22-9. From there, the Bulldogs ran away with the game, leading the Badgers 43-25 at the half.
