Komanec, Vogel lead Wampus Cats over Warriors

CLARK FORK — Celeste Komanec did an excellent job running the show at point guard, dishing 11 assists to go with eight points as Clark Fork dispatched Kootenai on Friday night in North Star League action in Clark Fork.

Tessa Vogel added a double-double with 14 points and 10 boards, and Brocklynn Thornton added nine points and nine rebounds as the Wampus Cats (7-2, 4-0 NSL) outscored the Warriors 29 to five in the first and fourth quarters.

Brie Benson led the Warriors (2-6, 1-1 NSL) with seven points in defeat.
