T-Birds 54, Bobcats 39

At Sam Benn Gym, Tumwater took flight early and had Aberdeen chasing it throughout this Evergreen 2A Conference matchup on Thursday night.

Reagan Glanz led the Bobcats (1-3, 5-7) with nine points, six rebounds and two steals, with Angel Jones pulling down eight rebounds.

“They got out to a good start and we didn’t,” AHS head coach Jeff Niemi said. “We had 13 turnovers in the first half and they got out and ran on our steals. The second half wasn’t bad. Down 22 in the fourth, we had a unique lineup out there and they had a good quarter. We brought down the deficit and showed we can compete with them. It was a good finish for us.”

Niemi cited Glanz, Ryder Heikkila, Kyra Gallinger, Jones and Brianna Roberts as the lineup that helped the Bobcats win the fourth quarter, 15-8.

Wildcats 61, Indians 47

WESTPORT — A 24-point third quarter helped Ocosta secure a victory over South Bend in a Pacific 2B League game on Thursday.

The Wildcats (4-8, 6-10) grabbed an 11-point lead after one quarter, but found their rhythm after halftime to explode for 24 points and roll past the Tribe.

“We had a really good start to the game, had a lull in the second quarter, but had an outstanding third quarter,” Ocosta coach Jason Quinby said. “We were able to get out in transition and cut our turnovers down. Our energy and our ball movement was really good in that third quarter.”

Ocosta was led by 14 points from Cole Hatton, while Kobe Beck added 11 points and Richard Dueber and Zach Allton each had 10 points.

Quinby cited Dueber for his performance.

Fishermen 68, Vikings 33

MENLO — Host Willapa Valley rocketed out to a quick 6-0 lead on 3-point baskets from Matt Pearson and Walker Oblad before Ilwaco settled down and ran away with this Pacific 2B League contest at Tenoski Gym on Thursday.

The Fishermen went on a 20-3 run to take over the game after a timeout following the dual 3-point baskets.

“We scored the first six points, they called timeout and their coach challenged his kids,” Valley head coach Jay Pearson said. “After that, they went on the run and we went back on our heels. We never got going again. They played a near-perfect basketball game and we didn’t have an answer for them.”

Matt Pearson led the Vikings (5-6, 9-6) with 11 points and Leonel Ruelas added seven rebounds. Chad Flemetis and Frank Roonsburg were cited for their work by coach Pearson.

Ilwaco 18 21 12 17 — 68 Willapa Valley 8 13 10 2 — 33

Eagles 90, Gulls 41

TACOMA — League-leading Life Christian Academy showed Raymond why it is atop the Pacific 2B League standings during this league contest on Thursday night.

The top-ranked Eagles led 61-25 at the half and both teams got to play as many people as possible in the second half.

“They consistently shoot 50 percent in their gym and they started that right out of the gate,” Raymond head coach Derek Rask said. “We played hard, as hard as we could. We were outmatched. It wasn’t from a lack of effort. (LCA) is a very good team in every phase of the game.”

Kason Koski and Devine Souvannavanh led the Gulls (6-5, 9-6) with 13 points each.

Bobcats split

LONGVIEW — Taking on two Southwest Washington 2A rivals on the road, Aberdeen knocked off R.A. Long, but lost to Mark Morris on Thursday afternoon.

Robby Lewis and Kai Kawashima picked up Aberdeen’s individual wins on the day, with Lewis taking the 200 IM and Kawashima claiming the diving.

“Mark Morris ran a super fast meet today and I was very impressed with how many of the boys swam multiple races in a very short time frame, while still bettering or staying near their best times,” AHS head coach Angela Durr said.

Kawashima was cited for his district qualifying swim in the 100 breaststroke, Aaron Dyer for a time drop in the 200 free and Jared Durr for his overall performance.
