BONNERS FERRY — Badger girls basketball had a back-and-forth battle against the 4A Moscow Bears, with freshman Taren Bateman scoring 25 points for the Badgers.
In the first quarter the Bears pulled away on a ten point run, leading 18-9. Due to the new rule change, once the Bears hit five team fouls, they sent the Badgers to the free throw line.
After several jump balls and turnovers in the final minute Taren Bateman went four-for-four and Markyyn Pluid went two-for-two at the free throw line, making the Badgers trail 18-15. Before the buzzer, Bateman hit a jump shot in the key putting Bonners Ferry within one, at 18-17.
