LITTLEFORK- Littlefork-Big Falls, on Tuesday, had the unenviable task of hosting a North Woods girls team still smarting from last Thursday’s loss to Ely, and the Grizzlies took out their frustrations on the Vikings with a 62-point beatdown, 89-27.
It was a monumental mismatch from the outset, with an opening basket by Tatum Barto giving the Grizzlies a lead they would never relinquish. The Grizzlies were firing on all cylinders as a Talise Goodsky putback gave the Grizzlies a 22-8 lead midway through the period, and North Woods kept on adding fuel to the fire, taking an insurmountable 47-18 lead by the half. The Grizzlies’ defense was even more dominating in the second half, allowing the Vikings only nine points as North Woods steamrolled their way to the easy 89-27 win.
River Cheney led the Grizzlies with 19 points, followed by Helen Koch and Barto with 17 each. Koch was red hot from beyond the arc, nailing five treys. Nine Grizzlies notched scores in the rout.
