Area sports
A transfer from Eastern Washington and seven high school seniors have signed to play basketball at Community Colleges of Spokane, Sasquatch women’s coach Bruce Johnson announced Monday.
Lisa Bocook, a graduate of Reardan, who was a reserve point guard at EWU last year as a freshman, will enroll at CCS this fall. She averaged 1.8 points in 8.5 minutes a game.
Also signing with the Sasquatch are guard Sally Palmer of Tekoa-Oakesdale, an All-Whitman County League selection, and forward Melissa Friend of Republic, an All-Panorama League choice.
From the Greater Spokane League is guard Lisa Bradley of Gonzaga Prep; guard Dawn Salfer comes from State AA champion West Valley; and forward Kim Wilkins was on Lakeside’s State A team.
Coming from Kennewick are guard Beth Watson from Kennewick High and forward Katie Norman from River View.
Vandals hire aide
Hilary Recknor, a one-time basketball standout at the University of Washington, has joined coach Julie Holt’s women’s basketball staff at the University of Idaho.
Recknor, who replaces Angie Miller, has been head coach at Bellevue Community College since 1991.
“Hilary brings a lot of enthusiasm to the program,” Holt said. “She’s got the tools to be an excellent Division I coach. We’re just real fortunate she decided to make this step.”
As a 6-foot-4 post player, she played on three NCAA teams at UW before a brief stint of professional play in Europe. Her post-college career included playing for Ghent, Belgium, and Tromso, Norway.
Scott top par-buster
The pros had a field day at Downriver on Moday in the Athletic Round Table Pro-Am.
All the cashers, led by Bob Scott of MeadowWood, broke par. Scott was 8 under at 63 off nines of 30 and 33.
That was good for a two-shot victory over Steve Prugh of Manito (34-31) and three shots ahead of Mark Gardner of The Creek at Qualchan (33-33) and Tom Colon of Indian Canyon (32-34).
Leading amateurs were Al Scarth of Ponderosa Springs and Jack Leonard of Spokane Country Club at 1-over 72.
