BONNERS FERRY — Ridge Williams, Eli Blackmore, Asher Williams, and Braeden Blackmore scored 10 points each for the 3A Badgers in a win over the 2A Wildcats.

Riply Luna had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Kolby Luna 20 points for Kellogg, which had its eight-game winning streak snapped.

“They came out and gave us a different look defensively in the third quarter and we turned it over too much,” said Kellogg coach Mike Martin, whose team was outscored 21-9 in the third quarter. “And Bonners makes you pay when you turn it over. We allowed them to get out in transition and they kind of kept it at arm’s length.”

KELLOGG — Kolby Luna had 13 points and Riply Luna eight points and 15 rebounds for the Wildcats, who closed the first half with 17 consecutive stops in a nonleague win over the Spartans at Andrews Gymnasium.

“It was a great effort from the guys tonight on the defensive end,” Kellogg coach Mike Martin said. “Tom O’Neill and Luke Miller helped set the tone for us on that end of the floor and Bridger McLean chipped in with four steals. Our shots weren’t falling, but it was nice to get such a strong defensive effort, even when our offense wasn’t helping fuel our energy.”

Priest River plays an independent schedule and will enter the 2A District 1-2 tournament as the fifth seed.

Kolton Maciosek had six rebounds, and Luke Miller had four steals for Kellogg, who played without twins Kolby and Riply Luna, on a football recruiting visit to the University of Oregon.

“It was nice to see the guys come out and really work on the defensive side of things; that’s back-to-back games holding teams under 30 points,” said Kellogg coach Mike Martin, whose Wildcats played with a shot clock at Andrews Gymnasium for the first time. “Nice to see them step up and take advantage of opportunities from good spots on the floor.”

Ronan Sherman led Newport with 12 points.

KELLOGG WRESTLING

Jan. 26

KELLOGG — The host Wildcats went 2-1 on senior night, once again demonstrating their willingness to wrestle against as tough of competition as they could get their hands on.

At this stage of the season, head coach Scott Miller and his staff are sharpening their swords, making sure that their talented team keeps their edge as they head toward districts and state.

“I thought, overall, we wrestled pretty well,” Miller said. “We got off to a slow start against Bonners but really picked it up as the match went on. Against American Falls I thought their lightweights wrestled really well against ours and they found ways to win the toss up matches. I thought our senior night match against Sandpoint was our best match. Overall, it was a good night for us as most of our kids got matches and performed well.”

Match results

Match 3 — Kellogg 60, Sandpoint 24

Jan. 27-28

COEUR d’ALENE — The North Idaho Rumble is one of the bigger events for the high school wrestling community and the Kellogg Wildcats were more than game for their toughest test of the season.

The boys team finished fifth overall, paced by strong performances from Kolter Wood (126-lb), Chase Scribner (106-lb), Jaeger Hall (132-lb), and Jayce Garcia (160-lb).

Only one Wildcat wrestler made it to the championship round, but sophomore Izzy Davis (G132-lb) came up just short to finish in second.

“This was a really good test for our team and I thought we showed a lot of grit throughout the weekend,” headcoach Scott Miller said. “I'm really proud of the kids that ended up on the podium because they earned it with just tough wins. I thought everyone of our kids found ways to win really tough matches and even in their losses they did a good job extending matches to give themselves a chance.”

This week is another busy one for the Wildcat grapplers, but Miller likes where his team is at this point in the season.

“This is a really good test going into February and I thought we passed the test,” Miller said. “Now we'll concentrate on cleaning some things up on technique and position and work to be at our best as work towards districts and state competition.”
