LACEY — With a chance to tie at the free-throw line, Willapa Valley was unable to convert the back end of bonus free throws with .6 seconds left in this Pacific 2B League loss on Thursday night.
Host Northwest Christian (1-2, 2-3) had a good night at the line, hitting 21-for-28 from the stripe to edge out the Vikings (0-4, 1-4). Valley was 7-for-17 from the line.
“Both teams played hard, but this game was won and lost at the free-throw line,” Willapa Valley head coach Colby Rogers said. “We just sent them to the line and they knocked them down.”

SEASIDE, Ore. — Newport’s prowess behind the 3-point arc was more than enough to knock off Montesano in the opening round of the Seaside Holiday Classic on Thursday afternoon.
A slow start by Montesano (3-3), plus the Cubs’ 3-point shooting, allowed Newport to take a 27-17 halftime lead it never relinquished.
“They hit three treys on consecutive trips down the floor to give themselves the lead,” Montesano head coach Doug Galloway said. “We had a tough time keeping them in front. We had to rotate to help and that allowed them to get open for 3-point shots. They shot the ball very well from the perimeter.”
Trevor Ridgway led Monte with 12 points and Tanner Nicklas added 11 points and seven rebounds.
Today, Montesano takes on Cottage Grove (Ore.) in a consolation bracket contest.

SPOKANE — Spokane’s Levi Taylor picked up his team’s scoring with a game-high 38 points to lead the hosts past Grays Harbor College in the Spokane NWAC Crossover Tournament on Thursday.
