Cascade Christian overpowers Butte Falls The Cascade Christian girls basketball team used a three-headed monster to outlast Butte Falls in a clash of Class 1A and 2A schools on Friday. Hannah Gettman led the Challengers with 17 points, while Amy Roseberg and Whitney Brookins added 13 and 11, respectively, in the 50-37 victory over the visiting Class 1A Loggers. Butte Falls held a brief lead after the first quarter but Cascade Christian broke the game open with a 34-16 scoring advantage over the second and third periods. "We just started executing better (in the second and third quarter)," said Cascade Christian coach Loren King, whose team improved to 8-1 on the season. "It was a hard-fought game. The kids were really tired after this one." Gettman, a junior guard, kept the Challengers composed in the first quarter when Butte Falls seized the lead and Brookins took over in the decisive third quarter with eight of her team's 22 points. "Those three (Gettman, Roseberg and Brookins) just had outstanding all-around games," said King. "They all provided us with great leadership." Sara Matthews, a post, gave the Challengers fits in the early going with eight of her team-high 14 points coming in the opening quarter. "We wanted to get Matthews in a little foul trouble but it didn't work," said King. "She did a lot of damage to us in that first quarter, and we were trying to go at her." Butte Falls fell to 5-2 on the season. BUTTE FALLS (37) - Matthews 14, Dunlap 2, Million 5, McKibben 6, Rowley 10, Biando 0, Smeltz 0. Totals: 17 3-7 37.
