Traveling to Troy on Tuesday and Lapwai on Thursday last week, the Summit Patriot ladies split their two games, both White Pine League matches, dropping Troy 53-36 in the first matchup, but losing a hard fought and intense battle with Lapwai 28-47. In the Troy game, quarter scores were 6-6, 21-18 and 34-24 with a final of 53-36 indicate a very close first half but show Summit pulling away convincingly in the second, outscoring the Trojans 32-18 with an increased defensive effort and an improved shooting percentage. Leading the Summit effort was Rachel Wemhoff with 25 points, 5 steals, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Savanah Prigge added 12 points and was a force on the boards, collecting 14 rebounds while contributing 4 steals, 2 assists and a block for her evening effort. Other Patriots in the game: Jamie Chmelik added 6 points, 5 boards; Nicole Frei 6 points, six boards and 2 steals; Sarah Chmelik 1 board; Brooke Schumacher 4 points, 1 board, 4 assists and 2 steals. Rachael Frei, Nicole Wemhoff and Cassidy Stubbers also got into the game. The Lapwai game started slow with quarter break scores of 8-8 and 2-18 at the half showing Summit easily handling the Wildcat press but falling slowly behind as only 3 of 18 floor shots fell for points. Shooting continued to be a problem in the second half, and Lapwai pressure, kept on by a constant flow in and out of productive subs eventually wore down the Patriots leaving them on the short end of a 23-39 third quarter and a final of 28-47. Scoring and rebounding figures for the Patriots: Jamie Chmelik 4-4, Nicole Frei 2-2, Sarah Chmelik 5-4, Rachel Wemhoff 6-6, Nicole Wemhoff 0-0, Schumacher 0-2, and Prigge 11-14.

Summit boys split at New Meadows Tourney The Summit Patriot boys team traveled to New Meadows over the weekend and opened their season with a first round loss to Salmon River, then came back strong the second day with a 55-32 win over Council to take third in the tourney. In the opening game, Summit was its own worst enemy in the first half as they suffered through 17 turnovers and converted only 4 shots from the floor of the 27 taken. Scores for the first two quarters told the story: 4-18 at the end of the first quarter and 8-26 at halftime.

Quarter scores of 10-9, 24-24, 37-28 and the final 55-37 indicate a tight first half with the Patriots pulling away, outscoring the Council Lumberjacks 31-13 with improved defense and sharper shooting.
