Chewelah Girls Drop Two Non-League Contests

Chewelah most recently lost 56-22 to the visiting Colville Crimson Hawks on Saturday, Jan. 3. Colville set the tone early, launching to a 17-7 lead in the first quarter and holding the Cougars scoreless in the second to take a commanding 35-7 advantage into halftime.

The Crimson Hawks used balanced scoring to pull away, with Andee Kroiss scoring 15 points and Alyssa Kubesh adding 13 points. Chewelah was limited to eight field goals in the game and was unable to generate consistent offense against Colville’s defensive pressure.

Sara Vioni led the Cougars with 14 points, accounting for more than half of Chewelah’s scoring on the night. 

Earlier in the week, Chewelah dropped a 36-25 decision to the Tonasket Tigers on Dec. 30. The Cougars stayed within striking distance through the first three quarters but were unable to mount a late push, as Tonasket outscored Chewelah 5-4 in the final period.

Vioni again paced Chewelah, scoring 10 points. The Cougars were held without a 3-pointer for the second straight game and finished with nine made field goals.

The team played Davenport on Tuesday, Jan. 6; results were not available at press time. The Lady Cougars are scheduled to host Kettle Falls on Friday, Jan. 9, at 7:30 p.m.
