Willapa Valley 63, Mossyrock 58

Willapa Valley jumped out to a sizable first-half lead then held on for a victory over host Mossyrock.

Willapa Valley (8-3 overall, 7-1 1B Columbia Valley) had a great start to the game en route to a 35-22 lead at the half.

But turnovers in the third quarter led to easy transition buckets for Mossyrock, which climbed back into the game in the second half.

Leading by one point with 42 second left to play, Willapa Valley’s Tyler Adkins made a front-end free throw but missed the second.

Joseph Pulsipher snatched the rebound away from Mossyrock and was able to get the ball safely out to Adkins, as Mossyrock was forced to foul.

Adkins hit the subsequent two free throws to secure the victory.

Adkins led Willapa Valley with 27 points, including six 3-pointers in a shooting performance that drew praise from head coach Jay Pearson.

“He went off tonight,” Pearson said. “He was great from the perimeter.”
