The decidedly young Lady Hawk basketball team has been growing by leaps and bounds lately, and scored a split in Western B action last week, defeating the District 6B Mission Lady Bulldogs 51-43 in Thompson Falls Thursday, and falling to the 7B-leading Bigfork Vals 67-29 in Bigfork Saturday.

Coach Doree Thilmony and her Lady Hawks will complete regular season play this week, hosting Troy Friday.

Thilmony was very happy with how the Hawks flew past Mission, and felt her girls learned a lot from playing powerful Bigfork again.

"The Mission game was a confidence builder for us, it was a much-needed win," she said, "and it's always good to play teams like Bigfork. They push you out of your comfort zone and make you play a different level of basketball."

Freshman Megan Baxter led the Hawks in the win over Mission with yet another double double, registering 18 points and spearing 12 rebounds.

Maya Stiles added 10 points and two rebounds, Haley Morgan nine points and eight rebounds, Jody Detlaff six points and 10 boards, sister Sarah Detlaff three points and three rebounds, Belle Cooper three points and six rebounds and Faith Frields two points.

Azia Umphrey led Mission with 13 points, Syd Brander added 12 and Karolyna Buck 10.

At Bigfork, Baxter bucketed nine points and pulled down four rebounds, Jody D had seven points and five boards, Cooper four points and seven rebounds, Morgan four points and four rebounds, Riley Wilson three points and two boards, Sarah D one point and two rebounds and Stiles one point and one board.

Jaime Berg led Bigfork with 19 points, Rakiah Grende scored 14 and Jordan Nelson 10.
