Glacier girls, boys rout Libby on hardwood
Three Wolfpack players scored in double figures as Glacier routed Libby at home for a 69-27 nonconference girls basketball victory on Tuesday night.
Hailee Bennett, Katie Wiley and Tessa Krueger scored 18, 12 and 10 points respectively.
“It was a pretty solid offense game. Everyone kind of played pretty solid and contributed tonight,” Glacier head coach Kris Salonen said.
“It was nice to get Tessa scoring, and Katie didn’t just score , but she created some things for herself tonight too.
Wiley and Krueger, who both finished 5 for 7 from the floor, each added three steals to their effort.
“Just like any nonconference game, each week we try to focus on what we need to do to get better. We pressed more tonight than we have because we just needed to see what we can do and what we need to work on in that sense,” Salonen said.
The Lady Loggers shot just 25 percent from the field and trailed at the half 30-12.
Hailey Craig paced Libby with a team-high eight points. Shannon Reny scored five while Shyla Stevenson and Dayln Germany each added four.
Libby travels to Thompson Falls on Friday for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off.
Glacier hosts Lake City (Idaho) on Saturday for a nonconference matchup at 3 p.m.
