Glacier Peak power player Brynna Pukis drives the corner on the way to 2 of her 24 points. Glacier Peak’s varsity girls played a constantly scoring offense and a dominant defense to rout the Jackson Timberwolves 66 - 33 Friday, Jan. 31 on the home boards. T’Wolves sophomore Makena Devine’s 22 points nearly matched Pukis but the T’Wolves were overwhelmed in every frame. Jackson was behind by 22 at the half.
