Montesano nearly pitched a shutout in a sport where shutouts are incredibly rare.

The Bulldogs held Tenino scoreless for three quarters en route to a 67-5 win on Thursday at Montesano High School.

Monte (13-3, 5-0 1A Evergreen) opened up a 30-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and held a 44-0 lead at the half.

Tenino (3-14, 0-5) scored all five of its points in the fourth quarter, avoiding the improbably shutout.

“We got on them early and our defense did a nice job,” Monte head coach Mark Mansfield said. “We moved the ball well with six different players scoring in the first quarter.”

Monte was led by star forward McKynnlie Dalan with 16 points and eight rebounds.

Dalan was one of four Bulldogs to score in double figures, joining younger sister Evanjillie “Jillie” Dalan (13 points, 8 rebounds, 7 steals), Jaiden King (10 points, 4 assists) and Maia Young (10 points).

Monte went 28 for 65 from the field (43%) and 11 for 20 (55%) from the free-throw line as a team.

The Bulldogs host Seattle Academy at 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Hoquiam 60, Elma 39

Hoquiam used a big third quarter to pick up a 60-39 league victory over Elma on Thursday at Elma High School.

The Grizzlies (9-5, 3-2) trailed the Eagles (2-10, 1-4) 15-9 after Elma played aggressive from the opening whistle, led by junior Aaleigha Weld’s six points in the period.

But Hoquiam began to climb back into the game in the second quarter and eventually took a 24-23 lead at the half. Senior center Chloe Kennedy scored 11 of the Grizzlies’ 15 points in the period.

Hoquiam took control of the game in the second half. Sparked by the play of senior forward Ashlinn Cady’s 11 points, the Grizzlies outscored Elma 22-3 in the third quarter to take a commanding 46-26 lead entering the fourth period.

Kennedy (21 points, 10 rebounds), Cady (15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals) and Bonney-Spradlin (13 points, 9 assists, 5 steals) scored in double figures for the Grizzlies.

“Great road win in a very tough environment,” Hoquiam head coach Chad Allan said. “Everyone played a role today. Chloe Kennedy made a huge impact for us as Ella Folkers and Graci Bonney-Spradlin were relentless on defense. But Ashlinn Cady was once again our spark that got everyone going in the second half. Avery Howard played huge minutes for us tonight and contributed on both sides. … Elma is a tough place to play and that team just continues to improve under Coach Brandi Henry’s leadership.”

Elma was led by Weld with 13 points.

Jacki DeMoss, Emmie Spencer and Olivia Moore each scored seven points for Elma.

Leading 32-28 at halftime, Raymond outscored the Warriors (7-6, 4-4) 18-11 in the third quarter, paced by junior guard Kyndal Koski’s nine points on three 3-pointers.

Raymond went 4 of 7 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter to preserve the victory.
