Vikings 52, Indians 49

MENLO — Willapa Valley rallied in the second half to finally get the best of rival South Bend in a Pacific 2B League game Thursday at Tenoski Gym.

Having beaten the Vikings in both a previous league meeting and in Valley’s Jack Q. Pearson holiday tournament, the Indians owned a 26-23 halftime lead Thursday.

The Vikings, however, limited the Tribe to nine points in the fourth quarter. Cami Swartz’s two free throws in the final minute helped give Willapa Valley (9-5, 11-6) a six-point lead.

“We were able to bring a constant amount of defense and offense for four solid quarters,” Valley coach Colby Rogers said. “They’re very well-coached and have some good athletes. You can’t have any lapses against them or they’ll get you.”

Katie Adkins scored 16 points to lead the Vikings and was also praised for rebounding. Hannah Cook, who had 14 points, was also cited by Rogers for defense.

Jessica Sanchez had 15 points and eight assists for South Bend (7-6, 11-6). Hannah Byington had 14 points and Alise Rohr eight rebounds for the Tribe.

South Bend lost despite shooting 51 percent from the field.

“We shot the ball well and were strong on defense,” South Bend coach Gary Wilson said. “We just gave up 23 offensive rebounds and loose balls. That was the difference.”

On Saturday, Willapa Valley visits Ocosta and South Bend is home against Raymond.

PUYALLUP — Led by Kjirstin Hopfer’s 17 points, Ocosta thumped Chief Leschi in a Pacific 2B League game Thursday at Puyallup.

The Wildcats (9-4, 13-4) used a full-court press and a packed-in zone defense to force numerous turnovers.

“We were able to give them a hard time in the full-court and transition back into a defense that made them shoot from the outside,” Ocosta coach Jason Barnum said.

Ocosta’s Kristi Raffelson had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Kaylee Barnum chipped in with 10 points, five assists and three steals.

The Wildcats host Willapa Valley on Saturday.

The league-leading Bearcats forced 27 turnovers and outscored the Bobcats in every quarter.

“You’ve got to give a lot of credit to (Chehalis),” AHS coach Mark Buckman said. “They’ve really figured out their 2-3 zone. It’s an active zone and it gave our ball-handlers a lot of problems. Overall, they’re a better team.”

Javier Bojorge scored 18 points and Ben Dublanko 17 for the Bobcats (2-6, 4-13). Billy Tinnell, one of several newcomers to the Aberdeen varsity, pulled down seven rebounds.
