Early foul trouble and an inability to control the inside led to the Glenns Ferry girls basketball team dropping a 47-37 decision to Gooding at home Monday.

“(Gooding) did an excellent job on the boards,” Pilots head coach Rick Hance said. “It was hard to get in a rhythm.”

Brittany Wirth led the Senators with 28 points, while Sara Arellano paced the Pilots with 14. Gooding’s 13-4 first-quarter lead kept the Pilots in catch-up mode the rest of the game.

Gooding will host Shoshone tonight, while Glenns Ferry (1-3) hosts Nampa Christian on Dec. 1.
