GIRLS BASKETBALL
Blackfoot 58, Snake River 38
Senior guard Espi Vergara posted a game-best 23 points on seven triples, helping the Broncos (4-8) secure an early lead and run away with a blowout win. Riley Layton posted 11 points for Blackfoot, which is off until after the holiday break, visiting Skyline on Jan. 4.
“Espi is a shooter. She’s a natural scorer,” Blackfoot coach Raimee Odum said. “We’re just so proud of the way that she came out mentally ready to play this game. And the thing that Espi’s been doing great this year, she’s believing in her inner teammates. She’s the only returning starter. She’s doing a good job of helping lead this team, and we’re just proud that she saw the ball drop today.”
