Hamilton, the defending Class A state champion, was the only team to notch a win. Kloie Nye was the sixth man last year and will be the leader this year. The rest of the team had very little varsity experience last year but that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to be a team to be reckoned with. Nye led her team to a 43-22 win over Thompson Falls on Saturday. Baylie Duce and Caitlyn Gillespie each added eight points.
