Filer and Kimberly girls basketball advance in tournament with dominant displays; Monday Idaho prep basketball scores

FILER, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Filer 69, Gooding 36

Girls’ district basketball tournaments kicked off Monday evening, marking the start of the postseason.

KMVT was on sight for the 3A Sawtooth Central Idaho Conference.

First up it was the top-seeded Filer Wildcats hosting the fourth-seeded Gooding Senators.

The Wildcats swept the regular season series 2-0 against the Senators.

Early on the Senators were putting up a fight.

They outrebounded the Wildcats early in the first, creating second-chance opportunities.

That display, however, didn’t last long as Filer found their rhythm.

Resounding defense led to easy transition points.

Senior Hazel Fischer had the hot hand early as Filer led 44-21 at the half.

The dominance would continue into the second half, as Filer would win 69-36.

Junior Reese Hills led the Wildcats offensively with 15 points while sophomore Tanli LeMoyne added 12 in the win.

Sophomore Aubrey Westling and Fischer would both finish the night with 11 points.

Gooding’s Audrey Schilder was a bright spot for the Senators on Monday night. The Senators sophomore finished with a game-high 16 points.

Kimberly 54, Buhl 23

20 minutes east at Kimberly High School, the two-seeded Bulldogs welcomed No. 3 Buhl to town.

These two split the regular season series with one win each.

The Bulldogs came out firing in the first quarter.

The Dille cousins, Berkley and Macy, were in their normal bag of tricks, causing headaches for the Indians.

They both had five points early on as the Bulldogs led 15-3 after a quarter.

Into the second, the damage kept on pouring in from Berkley Dille, as she was money from long range.

She had three of Kimberly’s seven three-pointers as Kimberly led 33-13 at the half.

Same storyline in the second half for the Bulldogs, as they came away with a dominant 54-23 victory.

Freshman Taya Plew and Berkley Dille would have 14 points each in the win. Macy Dille would add 11.

Junior Hope Ward would also make her presence known bringing in seven rebounds.
