SOUTH BEND — Erupting for 57 points in the first half, Willapa Valley notched its third win in four days by thumping South Bend in a Pacific 2B League game Tuesday at Menlo.

The Vikings (11-3, 14-3) demonstrated no signs of a letdown after ending Life Christian’s 56-game league winning streak the previous night. Six players scored in double figures.

Orozco also had nine steals and five assists for the Chitwhins (7-0, 11-3).

North River head coach Sean Pierson said his team had trouble running any of its offensive sets.

“They’re really good athletes and we had a hard time running any kind of any offense,” he said. “We missed a lot of shots and they dominated pretty much every aspect.”

Taholah coach Mike Rose highlighted Jesse Purdy for his unselfish play and Eli Waugh for his work on the glass. Purdy had 12 points and 10 assists and Waugh snatched eight rebounds.

Luis Nieves scored 21 points for the Mustangs (1-5 in league).

Fishermen 56, Gulls 50

RAYMOND — Ilwaco came from behind in the fourth quarter to top short-handed Raymond in a Pacific 2B League game Tuesday at Raymond.

Although playing without leading scorer Marcus Anderson, sidelined with the flu, the Gulls owned a three-point lead midway through the final period.

“They cranked up the pressure a little bit and we didn’t do a very good of attacking it,” Raymond coach Mike Tully said. “But I’m proud of the kids for making the adjustment (to play without Anderson) and playing as hard as they did against a pretty decent team.”

Devine Souvannavanh and Kaci Phansisay shared Raymond scoring honors with 11 points each. Sonvannavanh also contributed nine rebounds, five assists and four steals.

Taevon Hubbard added six rebounds for the Gulls (4-9, 6-11).

Warriors 84, Wildcats 59

WESTPORT — A 30-point first quarter ignited Chief Leschi past Ocosta in a Pacific 2B League game Tuesday at Westport.

The Wildcats (5-8, 8-9) had difficulty adjusting to Chief Leschi’s speed. Ocosta coach Jason Quinby blamed himself for not doing enough to prepare his troops for the Warriors’ style.

“Chief Leschi is ready to play at 100 mph and we’re ready to play at 85,” Quinby said.

Ocosta’s Cole Hatton erupted for 30 points, while Richard Dueber had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Paul Bjornsgard added nine points for the Wildcats.

Zach Allton, Ocosta’s leading scorer, underwent knee surgery Monday and will be lost for the season.

Bulldogs 57, Eagles 28

MONTESANO — Lockdown defense was the difference for Monte’s girls as they easily took care of Tenino at home in Evergreen 1A League play Tuesday.

Monte (5-0, 12-5) keyed in on Tenino ace Kaylee Schow who had to deal with tenacious defense from Zoee Lisherness and Samantha Stanfield.

Julie Graves said her whole team defended well and was glad to see everyone execute the game plan.

“We had great defense. Their leading scorer only had six points through the first three quarters and we really focused on not allowing her to get easy shots,” she said.

Zoe Hutchings had 16 points and 12 rebounds while Glory Grubb snagged eight boards for the Bulldogs.

Monte visits Elma in a league showdown Thursday.

BROOKLYN — Taholah’s girls were missing a few starters but still came up with a win at North River in a Coastal 1B League contest Tuesday.

The Chitwhns (7-0, 11-2) were led by Nettie Mail, who dropped 20 points and helped put the game away when things got tight heading into the fourth quarter.

“We were missing some players but we took care of things and got to play some of our bench players, which helps the team in the long run,” said Taholah head coach Karl Braden.

North River head coach Sean Pierson said he was excited to hang with such a talented team for most of the game and highlighted Eliza Gumaelius for her aggressiveness on offense in pursuit of her eight points.

North River (0-6 in league) will take a break from the pursuit of its first league win to visit the Montesano C squad on Wednesday. Taholah will travel to Neah Bay on Thursday.

Acorns 44, Loggerettes 40

OAKVILLE — Unable to take care of the basketball in the waning minutes, Wishkah fell to Oakville in a Coastal 1B League game Tuesday at Oakville.

Wishkah’s offense was short-circuited by turnovers all game long, but the Loggerettes got some shots to fall in the fourth quarter when they forced some turnovers of their own.

“We’re struggling with our turnovers and we’ll be working on it the next couple of days in practice,” said interim head coach Kristi Christian. “We got some turnovers off of pressing but we had too many of our own turnovers.”

Christian highlighted Brooke Haskey and Megan Hill who grabbed 13 and 12 rebounds, respectively. Erica Bomhoff topped Wishkah in scoring with 10 points.

MATLOCK — Kaylee Sowle scored 32 points to lift Mary M. Knight past Lake Quinault in a Coastal 1B League contest Tuesday.

Sowle hit 12 of 19 field-goal attempts.

“She had a lot of fast breaks,” Lake Quinault coach Travis Carstensen said. “We did slow her down in the half-court, but she’s good and she’s fast.”

Jaylah Tatro scored 16 points and Kat Neeland contributed nine rebounds and four assists for the Elks (4-3, 7-6). Carstensen was pleased that his team cut its customary turnover rate in half.
