BOISE - The Soda Springs girls' basketball team bounced back from its only loss of the season to capture third place at the 2A state girls' basketball tournament on Saturday.

The Cardinals used a dominating fourth quarter to earn a 55-48 win over Kamiah at Bishop Kelly High.

With the win, Soda Springs ends its campaign with a 24-1 record and its second third-place finish in the past three seasons.
