GIRLS PREP BASKETBALL
Montesano 58, Rochester 22
Montesano increased its lead in the 1A Evergreen League with a 58-22 win over Rochester on Thursday at Montesano High School.
The Bulldogs (12-7 overall, 6-1 1A Evergreen) started “a little sluggish” in the first half, according to head coach Mark Mansfield, committing eight turnovers over the first two quarters against the Warriors (4-15, 0-6).
But Monte’s defense was too much for Rochester to overcome.
The Bulldogs held the Warriors to eight points or less in each quarter of the game and forced 40 turnovers, resulting in 25 steals for Monte as a team.
“In the second and third quarters, we locked them down, defensively,” Mansfield said.
Monte was led by the double-double performance of star senior forward Jillie Dalan with 19 points and 14 rebounds, both game highs.
Guard Makena Blancas scored eight points and had five steals while Ashlyn Lytle scored five points, had a team-high six assists and also recorded five steals for Montesano.
Monte shot 36% from the field (24-66 FG) and made 9-of-26 free throws (35%).
The Bulldogs outrebounded Rochester 45-25 and had 18 turnovers in the win.
Monte now sits one full game ahead of Hoquiam in the win column for first place in the 1A Evergreen League.
Monte faces Elma to close out its league schedule at 7 p.m. on Thursday in Elma.
Rochester 8 4 3 7 – 22
Montesano 16 13 17 12 – 58
Scoring: Montesano – Dalan 19, Blancas 8, Wintrip 6, Lytle 5, Forster 4, Perry 4, Kaivo-Houlton 4, Vandevender 4, Hart 2, Williamsen 2.
