Kayla Tetschlag handles big (literally) challenge

In a somewhat strange move, Logan coach Tom Campbell put 6-3 junior center Danielle Jorgenson on North senior standout Kayla Tetschlag.

It didn't work out so well.

Make no mistake; Jorgenson is a very nice player. She's tall, strong and talented.

But Tetschlag was too quick and too instinctive for the big center.

North's senior put up a stat-stuffing night: Game-highs in points (22), rebounds (eight), assists (seven) and steals (five).

During the post-game press conference, Tetschlag said she didn't realize Jorgenson would be on her until the game started.

"Once I saw it, I got kind of excited actually. She backed away, knowing I wouldn't shoot. But I started making moves around her. As big as she is, she's not as quick ... I get excited when bigger players are on me, because I feel I'm quicker."
