Raymond climbed a rung in the 2B Pacific League ladder with a 58-49 victory over Forks on Tuesday in Raymond.
The Seagulls (10-3 overall, 7-3 2B Pacific) moved into sole possession of third place, leapfrogging the Spartans by overcoming a less than energetic performance, according to Raymond head coach Derek Rask.
“I thought we were tired this evening. Our intensity was low, and we struggled most of the evening offensively. Forks was aggressive defensively and we struggled to find a rhythm,” he said. “I was proud of our kids for sticking with it and doing just enough to get the win. I thought the key to the game was our transition game offensively. We finally were able to get out and fast break in the second half.”
Trailing 29-28 at halftime, Raymond grasped control of the game by outscoring Forks (8-8, 6-4) 14-7 in the third quarter.
The Seagulls held a 16-13 advantage in the fourth quarter to secure the win.
Raymond senior guard Tre’ Seydel continued to make a case for the 2B class Player of the Year with 25 points to go along with 11 rebounds, recording his eighth double-double this season in the process.
Seagulls seniors Morgan Anderson and Adrian Quintana also had stellar floor games. Quintana scored 17 points to go along with five assists and five steals while Anderson had 13 points, four assists and eight steals.
Raymond travels to Ocean Shores to take on North Beach at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday.
