Columbia High's girls jayvee basketball team posted season highs in several categories in its 47-20 non-league verdict against the Stevenson jayvee here Dec. 13.

Other season bests included margin of victory, 2-point field goals made (17), free throws attempted (18) and free throws made (10).
Freshman Corrine Blankenship helped lead the Junior Bruins to their fourth victory in five games, and a season-series sweep of the Pups, scoring a career-high 11 points.
Varsity reserves Bobbi Ziegler (9) and Shelly Putnam (4) also played key roles in the win, coming off the bench to combine for 13 points.
Sophomore Jessica Mosbrucker added six counters, and freshman Megan Harvey tallied 3-of-4 from the foul line in the fourth quarter to finish with five points.
