GIRLS BASKETBALL

Eagles 71, Beavers 22

ELMA — Led by Jalyn Sackrider’s 20 points, Elma emphatically earned no worse than a share of the Evergreen 1A League girls basketball championship by routing Tenino on Tuesday.

The Eagles finished the regular season at 9-1 in league and 19-1 overall. Although Montesano could gain a tie for the league title with a win at Hoquiam on Friday, Elma will receive the top-seeded district berth by virtue of point differential.

There was little doubt about Tuesday’s outcome. The Eagles led 30-16 at the half, then sealed the deal by outscoring the Beavers 27-2 in the third quarter. Sackrider scored 12 in that quarter.

Elma’s Kali Rambo attained a double-double with 12 points and 10 steals.

The Eagles will draw a first-round bye and open district competition Feb. 10 in a game at Hoquiam.

Gulls 76, Wildcats 58

WESTPORT – Kaci Phansisay’s lights-out shooting from beyond the arc lifted Raymond past Ocosta in a Pacific 2B League contest Tuesday at Westport.

Phansisay hit six three pointers in first half and dropped 25 points on an Ocosta team that struggled to keep track of him when he moved off ball around the perimeter.

Raymond head coach Mike Tully said it was important for his team to grab momentum early

“We knew going in that this game was going to decide who got their first district game as a home game,” he said. “It was their Senior Night so we knew we needed to be fired up and ready to play.”

Marcus Anderson also controlled the paint pretty well and had eight rebounds and four assists to go along with 16 points.

Ocosta’s offense struggled and missed shots close to the basket but got a good game from Cole Hatton, who led the team with 29 points.

Raymond (6-9, 8-11) will close out the regular against Chief Leschi at home on Thursday and Ocosta (5-10, 8-11) will face Life Christian Academy on the road on Friday.
