Brewster girls, Chelan boys win in second shootout

CHELAN – The Brewster Bears and Chelan Goats met for the second time in two weeks this season on the Goats’ home court, Jan. 21. While the outcomes for both varsity games were the same in one respect to their first Jan. 13 meeting – Brewster girls and Chelan boys won – the point spread between the girls was much closer this time.

Chelan took the first quarter lead by two points, 10-8, but a low scoring second quarter – three points- allow the Lady Bears catch and pass their host by eight, 21-13, at halftime. Brewster was up by 10 by the end of the third quarter and despite being outscored by Chelan in the fourth, had enough margin to win by seven, 45-38. That was much closer than the 68-26 first game win. 

The final score reflected a better example of two well-matched teams. The 9-5 Goats are 3-1 in the 1A Caribou Trail League while the 10-4 Bears are ninth (0-1) in the 2B Central. 

Morgan McGuire led Brewster with 14 points. Brynn Hughbanks led Chelan with 18.
