Tumwater 57, Aberdeen 40

A big second quarter by Tumwater led to a 57-40 loss for Aberdeen on Tuesday in Aberdeen.

The Bobcats (4-2 overall, 1-2 2A Evergreen) fell behind by 17 at halftime after the Thunderbirds (4-0, 3-0) scored 24 points in the second quarter on 11-of-21 shooting in the frame (52%).

“It was that second quarter that was the difference. It really came down to them hitting their shots,” Aberdeen head coach Curtis Eccles said. “They are quick and had some quickness we hadn’t seen. I thought we did a good job trying to match their quickness, but in that second quarter, they started hitting some shots.”

Another key factor in the loss was the Bobcats committing 25 turnovers on what Eccles said was mostly due to “making poor decisions.”

Aberdeen had 12 steals as a team and shot 15-of-42 from the field in the game (36%).

The Bobcats were led by senior Annie Troeh, who had 18 points, 10 rebounds and five steals in the game.

Aberdeen hosts Rochester at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Willapa Valley 43, Taholah 36

Willapa Valley had three players in double figures in a 43-36 victory over Taholah on Tuesday in Taholah.

The Vikings (5-1) and Chitwhins (2-1) were tied at 30-30 with 5:38 left in the game before Valley went on a 9-0 run to secure the victory.

“We finally played a great first half. We came out and played really well,” said Valley head coach Dawn Keeton, whose team had to rally after Taholah played much better in the second half. “After halftime, we came out and played a little scared because Taholah came out aggressive and we weren’t ready for that. They were very physical with us, but we were able to hold on.”

Addison Merkel (14 points), Tyler Keeton (11) and Rilyn Channell (10) each scored in double figures for the Vikings, which shot 15-0f-48 as a team (31%).

Taholah was led by Keeliana McCrory with 12 points and Noelani McCrory with 10.

Raymond-South Bend 61, Chief Leschi 28

Raymond-South Bend played well on both ends of the floor en route to a 61-28 win over Chief Leschi on Tuesday in Puyallup.

Four Ravens players scored in double figures while the RSB defense held the Warriors to less than 10 points in each quarter.

“Defensively we were able to set the tone and slowly pull away for a good win on the road,” Ravens head coach Jason Koski said. “Really good play from all the kids, very unselfish on the offensive end and pretty disciplined for the most part on the defensive end versus Leschi’s back door and dribble-handoff actions.”

The Ravens (4-1, 2-1 2B Pacific) were led by Kassie Koski (14 points, 9 rebounds, 5 steals), Megan Kongbouakhay (11 points, 5 assists, 3 steals), Emma Glazier (10 points, 4 steals) and Kyndal Koski (10 points, 6 steals, 5 assists).

Crescent 62, Lake Quinault 10

Lake Quinault lost to Crescent 62-10 on Tuesday at Lake Quinault High School.

The Elks (0-4) dropped its fourth straight game to start the season after not fielding a team in the three previous seasons.

“We haven’t had a team for three years and we are utilizing eighth graders to have a team,” Elks head coach Dani DeMarco said. “They’re definitely improving on their defense. … They haven’t all been able to practice yet with the entire team. … We’ll see more improvement once they’ve all been able to practice together.”

Junior Destiny Baxter-Cook scored four points to lead the Elks, which shot 3-for-25 from the field (12%) and hit 2-of-4 free throws in the loss.

Lake Quinault plays at Darrington at 6 p.m. on Friday.
