PRESTON - The Preston girls' basketball team launched a spirited third-quarter comeback but still lost to Bonneville 60-46 at home Thursday.

The Indians trailed 31-17 at halftime but outscored Bonneville 25-17 in the third quarter. Preston tied the game at 40-40 with about two minutes remaining in the quarter, but Bonneville pulled away in the fourth.

"We kind of hit a wall," Preston coach Ryon Pope said. "It was closer than 14 points would indicate. I was proud."

Holly Checketts and Marssi Daniels combinde for 23 points in the third quarter. Checketts finished with 24 points and Daniels with 11.

Preston (9-5) next travels to Shelley on Saturday.
