TONASKET – Defending state girls basketball champion Okanogan ran to a 26-2 first quarter lead at Tonasket on Tuesday, Dec. 11, coasting to a 66-8 victory over the Tigers.
Okanogan led 37-6 at the half. Tonasket managed just one basket in the second half, which was shortened considerably by the running clock rule that took effect once the Bulldog advantage hit 40 points.
Kara Staggs led Okanogan (4-1, 1-0 Caribou Trail League) with 20 points before leaving with an injury in the third quarter.
Kylie Dellinger led Tonasket (1-4, 0-1) with four points.
