The Kentwood High girls basketball team put its balanced offensive attack on display Friday night at the ShoWare Center.<\/p>\n
Behind a season-high 22 points from Sanda Milovic and solid performances elsewhere, Kentwood made quick work of Kentridge, knocking off the Chargers 76-35 in a South Puget Sound League North Division game.<\/p>\n
Milovic\u2019s previous season high was 20 points, which she dropped on Auburn Riverside last month.<\/p>\n
Milovic, a 6-foot senior, connected on 10 of 14 shots for the night.<\/p>\n
But Milovic wasn\u2019t the only Conqueror (11-3 in league, 14-4 overall) to enjoy a big night.<\/p>\n
Kentwood\u2019s Kylie Huerta, the North\u2019s leading scorer at 19.5 points-per-game, cashed in with 20 points while Courtney Johnson and Liz Mills added 10 apiece.<\/p>\n
Kentwood jumped out to a 25-9 first-quarter lead and never looked back in the win over the Chargers.<\/p>\n
Allison Newcomb came off the bench for Kentwood to score seven points.<\/p>\n
Taylor Riley, who came into the night averaging 5.9 points per game, led the Chargers (0-14, 1-17) with 10 points. Megan Merrill added nine points for Kentridge.<\/p>\n
Milovic\u2019s hot hand continued on Saturday night, scoring 16 points in a 66-44 win over Auburn. Huerta led the way with 22 points while Mills also added 16.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
