GIRLS BASKETBALL
Grizzlies 51, Spartans 32
Hoquiam came out of the locker room and turned up the intensity to outscore Forks by 10 points and run away with this Evergreen 1A League contest at Hoquiam Square Garden on Friday.
The Grizzlies (2-5, 6-11) held Forks to just 12 points in the second half.
“The third quarter was the difference,” Hoquiam coach Mark Maxfield said. “We came out very aggressive, attacking the rim and we shot 13 free throws in the quarter and totally shut them down in the second half. We really played solid man defense.”
Maxfield cited the efforts of seniors Izzy Hernandez, Brandi Parson and Casey Mode. Hernandez scored nine points, while Parson added seven points. Hernandez and Mode each had double figure rebound totals in the game.
Kylee Bagwell led the Grizzlies with 11 points.
Hoquiam will travel to Aberdeen today.

Bearcats 72, Bobcats 25
CHEHALIS — Hot shooting by Chehalis and too many turnovers doomed Aberdeen in an Evergreen 2A Conference game on Friday.
The Bobcats (1-5, 6-9) turned the ball over 24 times and couldn’t keep up with the pace set by the hosts.
“(Chehalis) just shot the ball well,” Aberdeen coach Jeff Niemi said. “We did a pretty good job handling their press, we just couldn’t convert when we did. We caught them on a bad night of us not shooting well and them shooting well.”
Reagan Glanz scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds to lead Aberdeen, while Dani Buckman had three assists and three steals to go with three points and Mari Rabung added six rebounds.
Niemi cited Emmy Walsh for her effort off the bench.

BROOKLYN — Allyah Schreck led North River with nine points as Naselle had a monster night on offense in this Coastal 1B League contest on Friday night.
“Naselle’s girls’ shooting percentage had to be high tonight; they hit everything,” North River head coach Sean Pierson said. “It was fun to watch. Obviously, we are out there competing and contesting shots, but you have to tip your cap. They drained it from everywhere.”

MATLOCK — Espy Silva led Lake Quinault with a double-double — 16 points and 12 rebounds — but Mary M. Knight used a big first quarter to hold off the visitors in this Coastal 1B League contest on Friday.
The Owls led 15-2 after the first quarter and never trailed in the contest. Kaylee Sowle led all scorers with 25 points for Mary M. Knight and teammate Mary Koonrad added 16 points.
“That was the game,” Quinault head coach Chris Christiansen said. “For the entire season, we’ve been a second-half team. We had a good second quarter, but for some reason, it takes us a quarter to warm up. We need to overcome that.”

“They are just so strong inside that they got 45 points in the paint and we just don’t have a good matchup for Kaech and Jacobson,” North Beach coach Larry Moore said. “It is just one of those games that if you get opportunities you have to make them and we just didn’t do it.”
Hannah Avery led the Hyaks with eight points, while Helen Garman had six points and eight rebounds and Reilly Moore added six points and six rebounds.
