WHITE SALMON — At the midway point of the WIAA Class 1A Trico League girls basketball season, the Columbia High Bruins remain as one of the top contenders in the eight-team standings.

Junior guard Halle Koch had 17 points, six rebounds and six steals for the Bruins. Sophomore forward Joella Posini added 12 points and had a team-high seven rebounds.
The Bruins won another close contest 41-36 in a Gorge rivalry matchup Jan. 15 at Stevenson High (1-7 league, 2-11 overall). The Bruins overcame a 24-17 halftime deficit and outscored the Bulldogs 24-12 in the second half to get the win. Koch led the Bruins with 13 points and nine steals.
