PREP BOYS BASKETBALL

Elma 62, Montesano 35

Elma was hot from the start and never looked back in earning a 62-35 victory over Montesano in an East County rivalry game on Wednesday in Montesano.

Elma (2-4 overall, 1-1 1A Evergreen) scored 23 points in the first quarter, led by three 3-pointers from Logan Witt, to open up a 13 point lead at the end of the first quarter, a lead it would never relinquish.

The Eagles led 40-15 at the half and shot an eye-catching 51% for the game on 24-of-47 shooting.

Witt had 20 points to lead all scorers, including five 3-pointers for an Eagles team that hit 8-of-11 (73%) from beyond the arc.

“We attacked Monte’s zone and distributed the basketball very well,” Elma head coach Matt Ferrier said. “It was nice to knock down shots in the first quarter. Witt was huge. His 3-pointers allowed us to get comfortable.”

Ferrier said he and his coaching staff challenged the team ahead of Wednesday’s game.

“We’ve been struggling with consistency, energy and leadership,” he said. “We challenged our team with a different pregame approach and the kids bought in. Our focus level was dialed in tonight.”

Aside from Witt, Elma was led by Canon Seaberg’s 14 points while Jerred Bailey grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Eagles.

Montesano (1-9, 0-2) was led by Tyce Peterson’s eight points as the Bulldogs struggled from the floor, hitting 14-of-52 (27%) shots from the field, including 2-of-12 (17%) from 3-point range.

“Elma shot the ball well to begin the game and we never recovered from their quick start,” Montesano head coach Doug Farmer said.

Nex up, Elma will host Hoquiam with Montesano travelling to take on Eatonville. Both games are scheduled to tip-off at 7 p.m. Friday.

Six Hoquiam players scored on the evening, led by Michael Lorton Watkins’ 19 points and Justice Stankavich, who added 13 points.

Hoquiam (3-5, 1-0 1A Evergreen) opened up a 12 point lead after the first quarter but Tenino (5-5, 1-1) trimmed the Grizzlies advantage to 24-18 by halftime.

But Hoquiam’s defense held the Beavers to seven points in the third quarter while the Grizzlies — led by Lorton Watkins’ nine points in the frame — extended its lead to 38-25 at the end of the period.

Hoquiam’s Owen McNeil scored eight points in the fourth quarter, including hitting two 3-pointers, as the Grizzlies scored 20 points over the final eight minutes to pick up the 58-42 victory.
