COLUSA >> Third-year varsity veteran Faith McIntire, a transfer from Kelseyville High School, led the way with 14 points as the Clear Lake Cardinals fell 60-44 to the Colusa RedHawks in non-league varsity girls basketball action Monday night in Colusa.
It was the season opener for the Cardinals (0-1) while Colusa (1-1) registered its first win of the 2024-25 campaign. McIntire, a junior, sank five free throws among her team-high point total and hit Clear Lake’s lone 3-pointer. She played varsity ball for the Knights each of the last two seasons.
Aliyah Valadez, Kaylah Billig and Kam Cresto each had six points for Clear Lake while Kaitlynn Hackbarth added four points.
Colusa outscored Clear Lake 22-11 in the first quarter and added to its lead from there. The RedHawks pushed their advantage to 38-18 at halftime and 53-31 after three quarters. It was the first of two meetings between the teams this season. They’ll meet again Jan. 15 in Lakeport.
Colusa also won the junior varsity game, 48-34.
Clear Lake’s teams return to action as part of a four-game set Dec. 10 when they visit St. Helena, the North Central League I opener for both schools.
