ARLEE – After a tough couple of losses the Scarlets are back on track picking up a pair of dominating victories in their last week of play, adding to their 13-3 season record.

Friday the Scarlets hosted Class B Mission, rolling over the Lady Bulldogs 53-25 in the out of class court clash.

After the first frame of play, the Scarlets picked up a comfortable lead and never looked back with multiple Scarlets posting numbers on the board.

Leading the Scarlets was Bryndle Goyins netting 14. Becca Whitesell chipped in 11.

At home Saturday the Scarlets more than tripled their 14-C Noxon opponents, stomping the Lady Red Devils 70-21 while picking up their ninth conference win of the season (9-1).

Scarlets Morgan Malatare and Whitesell combined for 30 points with Malatare taking the lead tossing in 16 and Whitesell adding a close 14.

SUPERIOR – The Lady Vikings picked up a W to add to their impressive 14-2 overall season total but not before putting a ding in the conference record, splitting their week and keeping the Lady Vikings a notch behind Arlee for the 14-C crown.

At Superior on Friday the Lady Vikings took a hit after falling to the Lady Bobcats 48-51, leaving Charlo with an 8-2 conference win/loss total.

Though the Lady Vikings stayed close to the Lady Bobcats’ tails, including a 19 point fourth quarter, the damage had already been done and Charlo was sent packing with the 14-C upset.

Lady Viking Mikaylan Roylance led the Lady Vikings on the scoreboard with nine.

Saturday the Lady Vikings came back big, toppling Granite 55-25 in the non-conference roll over.

While allowing no more than seven Lady Prospector points in a single frame, the Lady Vikings punched a 21 point second quarter and paced the court straight through to the victory.

Shayna Nagy and Sienna Brown led both teams in scoring posting 17 apiece. 

The Lady Vikings will host Arlee Thursday and then finish up their season on the road while challenging Hot Springs Saturday.

Mission

ARLEE — The Lady Bulldogs are reaching the end of the line to gain their first win with only two games left in the regular season after adding two more to the wrong side of the win/loss line last week.

At Arlee Friday, the Lady Bulldogs fell behind right away and never recovered against the tough Class C head honcho Scarlets. Though a valiant third quarter mirrored Arlee’s, the Lady Bulldogs were too far across the canyon to cross, resulting in the 25-53 downfall.

Lady Bulldogs Sydney Castor, Trinity Lewandowski and Shania Dubois all posted six apiece.

Saturday at home, the Lady Bulldogs found themselves in a hard spot after falling behind Loyola-Sacred Heart 22-0 in the first quarter. Mission came back to steal the third frame from the Breakers but the damage had already been done and was too severe to repair sending the Lady Bulldogs to their 27-61 demise.

Irene Lopez and Castor each scored seven, leading the Lady Bulldogs in the book.

The Lady Bulldogs will take a final stand to score a victory with a contest in Ronan Friday and then Saturday will return home to host Troy.

Polson

POLSON - The Lady Pirates split last week, grabbing their second win of the season to bring them to a 2-12 win/loss total.

At home Thursday the Lady Pirates fell behind by three, but after a half time break Polson broke free and created noise, launching a big third frame to overcome Eureka 53-30.

Lady Pirate Nichole Lake led her team netting 10 points for Polson. Marlee Congdon was right behind adding nine, including a couple of successful shots from the three point range.

Saturday at Columbia Falls the Lady Pirates fell to the Wildkats, 22-67. While having trouble finding the basket, Polson took a hard 22-3 blowback in the first quarter and the climb back was just too much for the Lady Pirates to scale.

Lauren Lefthand logged the most points for the Lady Pirates with seven.

Up next for Polson will be an away game Friday in the next town over as the Lady Pirates will challenge the Maidens in Ronan, followed by a home-hosted contest against Libby on Saturday.

Saturday the Maidens rolled over Troy 54-31. After a slow first quarter the Maidens broke out some heat, scoring 38 of their 54 in the second two frames.

Alicia Camel only missed two of her nine shots at the hoop, resulting in 14 points on the scoreboard for the Maidens. Aspen Jore chipped in 10.

Lady Eagle Tyra Michel top scored her team with 13 while Casadi Wunderlich added 12.

Saturday at Superior the Lady Eagles were powerless against the Lady Bobcats after falling behind right away in the runaway conference challenge. While Superior was busy securing points at the net, their defense stopped the Lady Eagles from getting anything done, sending Two Eagle River home with the 33-60 conference loss.
