WALLACE — The visiting No. 4 Wampus Cats' season may have come to end on Wednesday night at Kirby Krulitz Court, but they certainly gave the No. 2 Miners everything they could handle.

Senior Evrett Montgomery tallied a team-high 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists, junior Owen Howard finished the season with 15 double-doubles, recording 13 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks, as Clark Fork fell just shy of Wallace in a 2A Scenic Idaho Conference district tournament loser-out game.

Sophomore Mateo Cruz hit three 3-pointers and recorded 11 points, junior Westin Caven 10 points, seven rebounds and six steals for the Wampus Cats, which trailed just 47-46 after three quarters of play.

Sophomore Henry Larson had a game-high 17 points and four steals, senior Julian Davis 15 points, including three 3-pointers, nine rebounds and five assists for Wallace, which beat Clark Fork 60-43 and 58-30 in the meetings between the two teams earlier this year.

Clark Fork finishes the season with an overall record of 4-14.
