Posted

W.F. West started off a four-game week with a 78-29 blasting of visiting Aberdeen on Monday in 2A Evergreen Conference play.

Junior Drea Brumfield led the Bearcats with 18 points and nine rebounds, while Kyle McCallum added 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals. Olivia Remund and Morgan Rogerson each had 11 points.

The Bearcats started off a little slow then went on a big run to lead 21-4 after one quarter. They then busted off a 29-4 third quarter, which included five 3-pointers, to put the game out of reach for the Bobcats.

“We talked about coming out hot,” W.F. West coach Kyle Karnofski said.

Karnofski gave shoutouts to McCallum, Remund and Rogerson for their performances.

“Kyla did a good job pushing the tempo and the guards did a good job distributing,” Karnofski said. “Olivia and Morgan brought good energy on both sides of the court.”

Madi Mencke chipped in six teals and four assists, while Mak Mecnke had four steals and Maliyah Lockwood hauled in five boards.
