Silver Valley Sport Recap: Jan. 20-26

Kellogg girls basketball

•KELLOGG — Brooke Jessen scored 15 of her game-high 21 points in the second half for the Timberlake Tigers in a 50-31 Intermountain League win over the Wildcats in a matchup of two of the top five teams in this week’s state prep girls basketball media poll at Andrews Gymnasium on Thursday.

“Brooke had a really good second half for us,” Timberlake coach Matt Miller said. “I was really happy for the most part with our defense. Offensively, we didn’t play great, but we stayed consistent on the defensive end all night. Kellogg’s a good, athletic team. They played hard the entire night”

Jaron Figueroa scored 12 points — all on 3-pointers — and Grace Nearing had eight points, five steals and four rebounds for fifth-ranked Kellogg, which was missing two starters.

“We’re only rolling with eight varsity girls, and two of them were gone tonight,” Kellogg coach Jana Nearing said. “We did not rebound well, and it was one of our downfalls. We were just a little slow and weren’t getting organized. If we can hone in on those things, then we’ll be good to go.”

Taryn Soumas scored 10 points for third ranked Timberlake, which has won 31 straight league games dating back to Feb. 3, 2015.
