Lions 78, Grizzlies 62

YAKIMA — At the Yakima Sun Dome Invitational, a 28-10 second quarter in favor of Kennewick placed Hoquiam into a deficit it could not overcome on Thursday afternoon.

Tied at 18-18 after one quarter, Hoquiam made some defensive adjustments against Kennewick’s point guard, Saul Nieves. However, those adjustments allowed the rest of the Lions to feast on the Grizzlies’ defense — 10-of-14 shots from the field in the quarter.

“They got hot,” HHS head coach Curtis Eccles said. “Nieves had 14 of his 19 points in the first quarter, so we made some adjustments. And, it opened everything else up to the rest of the team. We got as close as 10 in the fourth quarter, so I’m proud of the guys for battling. We played a much better second half.”

Jack Adams III led Hoquiam with a double-double (21 points, 11 rebounds and six assists), with Victor James adding 15 points and Jace Varner 11 points and nine rebounds.

Hoquiam was without senior guard Jerod Steen, who was back home with a foot injury.

Today, Hoquiam (5-5) will take on Bellevue Christian on the final day of the two-day showcase.
