Wasilla girls, boys notch wins over Kodiak

WASILLA — Through two quarters of basketball Friday night, the Wasilla Warriors were pitching a shutout.

Wasilla, the defending 4A state champions, allowed only a pair of second-half field goals and rolled to a 69-5 Northern Lights Conference girls basketball win over Kodiak at Wasilla High School.

Catherine Baham scored a game-high 16 points to help the Warriors open their NLC schedule with a victory. Azlynn Brandenburg chipped in 10.

Wasilla completed the sweep Saturday afternoon with a 73-18 victory over the Bears.

McKenna Dinkel supplied a game-best 14 points. Olivia Davies added a dozen points, while Kaylyn Kelly and Mallory Wheeler added eight each.

The Wasilla girls hosted the Bears, but the Wasilla boys made the trip to Kodiak for a pair of games.

Friday, the Warriors needed a fourth-quarter rally to get past Kodiak. The Bears led by seven at halftime, and took a 51-48 advantage into the third quarter. Wasilla outscored Kodiak 11-7 during the final frame to get the win.

Isaac Houck led the Warriors with a team-high 20 points. Aeron Milliron added 12, and Kobe Brown scored 10.

Saturday, Wasilla didn’t keep it close. The Warriors jumped to a 13-3 first-quarter lead, and buried the Bears with a 24-6 fourth-quarter run. Brown led Wasilla with 21, including a trio of three-pointes. Houck and Daniel Headdings added 11 each, and Milliron chipped in 10.

Both Wasilla teams are now 2-0 in NLC play.
