Bulldogs 60, Tumwater 36

TUMWATER — Despite a slow start, Montesano built a double-digit lead by halftime and rolled to victory over Tumwater in a non-league game on Friday.

The Bulldogs (5-1) missed their first six foul shots and trailed 5-0 early in the first quarter, but Montesano’s defensive pressure gave Tumwater fits at times and allowed the Bulldogs to go on a 15-4 run at the end of the quarter. Monte didn’t give back the lead on its way to victory.

“We got off to a slow start,” Monte coach Julie Graves said. “The girls rebounded well and got after it on defense. Hannah Quinn got into the game and made some things happen on the defensive end. It was a very physical game. We are happy to get out of there with a convincing win.”

The Bulldogs were led by double-doubles from seniors Shayla Floch and Jordan Spradlin. Floch finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, while Spradlin added 22 points and 19 rebounds.

Montesano travels to Aberdeen on Tuesday.

Sophomore Kristi Raffelson led all scorers with 25 points and 19 rebounds for the Wildcats (3-2, 5-3), with Kaylee Barnum adding 14 points.

BOYS BASKETBALL

Mustangs 67, Loggers 42

BROOKLYN — Luis Nives and Nat Baughman combined for 45 points as North River downed Wishkah for its first league victory in two years.

The Mustangs (1-1 in league) led 27-23 at the half and blew the game open by outscoring the Loggers 25-11 in the third quarter.

“Our field-goal shooting wasn’t good, so we went to a pressure defense to get turnovers and it worked,” North River coach Sean Pierson said.

“They came out in the third quarter and put a zone press on us and we kind of fell apart,” Wishkah coach Stefanie Baltzell agreed.

It was the first time North River had beaten Wishkah since 2010.

Hunter Baltzell scored 16 points and Will Fultz 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Loggers (0-2, 0-4). Duncan Palmgren also pulled down 10 rebounds.

On Monday, North River hosts the Elma C squad, while Wishkah visits the Montesano C Squad.

Gulls 78, Navigators 76, OT

LACEY — Devine Souvannavanh sank two foul shots with one second remaining in overtime as Raymond outlasted Northwest Christian in a Pacific League game Friday at Lacey.

It was ironic that the Gulls (2-1, 4-1) won this at the foul line, as they missed several free throws that could have sealed the deal in regulation.

With the game tied at 76, Souvannavanh was fouled on a desperation shot from backcourt. He made the first and third free throws.

“I’m proud of the guys for staying focused and pulling out the victory at the end,” Raymond coach Derek Rask said.

Kason Koski led the Gulls with 23 points. Souvannavanh added 15 points and Luke Hamilton 14 for Raymond.

The Gulls make the short trip to South Bend on Monday.

Vikings 46, Indians 36

SOUTH BEND — Ryon Ashley poured through 23 points as Willapa Valley downed South Bend in a Pacific League game Friday at Koplitz Fieldhouse.

“Ashley had a phenomenal game,” Valley coach Jay Pearson said. “He was attacking the basket at will.”

The 6-foot-2 junior also grabbed 14 rebounds. Teammate Matt Pearson also attained a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Coach Pearson also cited the play of Peter Hamilton and Frank Roonsburg in their varsity debuts.

Juan Bucio led South Bend with 14 points. Jack Graves contributed 10 rebounds and Drew Rose seven boards for the Indians.

“Cold shooting and pretty good defense on their behalf,” South Bend coach Manuel Rangel said.

On Monday, Valley (2-2) hosts Ocosta while South Bend (0-5, 0-6) entertains Raymond.

Lions 73, Bulldogs 68, OT

SEASIDE, Ore. — Cottage Grove rallied from a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter to edge Montesano in overtime at the Seaside Holiday Classic on Friday.

The Bulldogs (3-3) actually led by as many as 15 in the second half before the Lions rallied. Cottage Grove’s Blake Sentman tossed in 40 points to lead all scorers.

“They started pressing a little bit and we committed a few turnovers,” Monte coach Doug Galloway said. “Then L.J. Valley injured an ankle and the momentum kind of changed for them.”

Trevor Ridgway topped Montesano with 19 points. Valley and Nick Chapman added 15 points apiece.

The Bulldogs close out the tourney this morning, facing either Elma or the Seaside junior varsity.

Warriors 90, Wildcats 76

WESTPORT — Chief Leschi cleaned the glass, hit open shots and cleaned up a victory against Ocosta in a fast-paced Pacific 2B League game on Friday.

The Wildcats (1-3, 3-4) kept pace with the Warriors throughout the contest, but Chief Leschi was able to create an edge controlling the offensive rebounds for second-chance points.

“We stayed in front of the ball much better, but we need to keep working on it,” Ocosta coach Jason Quinby said. “When we had a good defensive possession, they took a miss. We just need to get better on defense.”

Ocosta’s Zach Allton finished with 30 points on the night. Quinby cited the junior for his offense and defensive play as Allton drew one of the tougher defensive matchups.

Dereck Thomas was ruled ineligible for the remainder of the season by school officials on Friday.

Ocosta travels to Willapa Valley on Monday.

Chief Leschi 16 27 24 23 — 90

Ocosta 18 16 22 20 — 76

Acorns 67, Elks 28

OAKVILLE — Alex Youckton’s long-range shooting was more than enough to power host Oakville past Lake Quinault in Coastal 1B League play on Friday night.

Youckton was 9-for-16 from the perimeter to finish with a game-high 29 points for the Acorns (3-1). Anthoney Eichelberger added 12 points and nine rebounds.

Anthony Ramirez led the Elks with 11 points and eight rebounds, with Murray Cottrell adding eight rebounds and Anthony DeMarco four steals.

“They went into a 1-3-1 press that really got to us,” Lake Quinualt head coach Christian Garcia said. “We committed 14 turnovers in that first quarter alone.”

Today, Quinault hosts Clallam Bay. On Monday, Oakville hosts Tacoma Baptist.
