Down 13-11 after one quarter and 25-12 midway through the second quarter, Taholah (7-1, 2-0) gave its starters a rest. Then, with a full-court pressure defense employed, the Chitwhins finished the first half with an 18-0 run.
“After we got the press going and settled down, we got control of the game,” Taholah head coach Mike Rose said.
Zach Cain led all scorers with 20 points and six rebounds, with Brett Orozco netting a double-double — 16 points and 10 assists — to go with five steals. Terrance Jones had nine rebounds and five blocked shots to go with his 11 points.

Gulls 55, Warriors 38
PUYALLUP — Raymond had to overcome its own miscues by firing well from the perimeter to knock off Chief Leschi on the road in Pacific 2B League play on Tuesday.
The Gulls hit 7-for-13 from behind the 3-point arc and limited the Warriors from behind the arc as well to take over this game. Raymond outrebounded Chief Leschi, 37-24, but committed 26 turnovers.
“It was not a pretty game for us, but we battled through it,” Raymond head coach Jason Koski said. “It is nice to just get a win on the road and move on.”
Aubree Gardner led all scorers with a double-double — 23 points and 11 rebounds — and Mikayla Collins added a double-double as well (12 points and 11 rebounds) for Raymond (6-1, 9-2).

Beavers 36, Grizzlies 30
TENINO — A tough night shooting for Hoquiam led to a scoreless first quarter, which proved to be the difference in an Evergreen 1A League-opening loss to Tenino on Tuesday.
Down 6-0 after the first quarter, Hoquiam (0-1, 4-7) got close at 11-7 at halftime and a 28-28 tie in the fourth quarter. However, Tenino’s Olivia Bailon hit two consecutive 3-point baskets to push the hosts into the lead for good.
“They hit five threes on the night, which turned out to be the difference,” HHS head coach Mark Maxfield said. “Bailon hit two of them when we were tied in the fourth. Our shooting woes continue. We’re getting good shots, running the offense well and getting clean shots. We just can’t hit any.”
Sophomore Rylee Vonhof led all scorers with a double-double — 15 points and 14 rebounds — for the Grizzlies. Bailon led the Beavers with nine points.
On Friday, Hoquiam hosts Elma.

Owls 38, Elks 33
AMANDA PARK — Kaylee Sowle and Mary Koonrad combined for 29 points as Mary M. Knight edged Lake Quinault in a Coastal League game Tuesday at Amanda Park.
Down 15-8 after a cold-shooting first half, Lake Quinault rallied to take the lead early in the fourth quarter. But the Owls had too much depth for the Elks (1-2, 3-4), who had five players available.
“I think Mary M. Knight has a little more experience than we do and they were able to pull through,” Quinault coach Chris Christiansen said.
Bree Obi topped the Elks with 14 points and six rebounds. Kaitlynn Neeland had nine steals and eight rebounds for Quinault.
The Elks visit North River on Friday.
