Lady Bulldogs Basketball Faces Loaded NE2B League

Kettle Falls girls basketball team, with a young roster and an emerging talent, will continue to grow and compete against some of the best competition in the state under head coach Tyler Edwards.

Edwards said that, while the picture isn’t fully clear before the first official practices, one thing is certain: the Lady Bulldogs will be tested early and often.

“The season tea leaves are hard to read prior to our first practice, but our league is a perennial powerhouse,” Edwards said. “NWC (Northwest Christian) is the reigning state champion and returns a lot from that team. Davenport and Reardan both are tough, with many returners.”

Kettle Falls brings in around 16 players, creating depth but also representing a roster largely built on youth.

“We will be very young but will have good size and quality guard play,” Edwards said. “We will need to broaden our basketball IQ and physical toughness.”

Despite the inexperience, Edwards said he believes the Bulldogs possess the right pieces to compete, especially if they develop quickly in the early part of the season.

Sophomore standout Wyn Edwards is expected to anchor both the offense and defense.

“Wyn Edwards will likely draw the most attention and will need to lead us on both ends of the floor,” Edwards said.

Her versatility and ability to shoulder responsibility will be crucial as the coaching staff works to elevate the team’s cohesion and confidence. For a young Kettle Falls squad, the climb is steep, but the mission is clear: growth.
