Bobcats 64, Forks 59
In an old-fashioned shootout, Aberdeen defeated Forks in a non-league game at Sam Benn Gym on Tuesday.
Led by six 3-pointers from Kyra Gallinger, the Bobcats had the slightly hotter hand to beat the Spartans. Gallinger and Dani Buckman each finished with 20 points for the Bobcats.
“It was just some really great shooting from both teams,” Aberdeen coach Jeff Niemi said. “I knew they had some shooters and they hit four 3-pointers in the first half and we were shooting the ball really well. Our zone offense turned the corner tonight. Jillian Swor scored all of her seven points in the fourth quarter on our zone offense.”
Swor had eight rebounds to go with her seven points. Along with the double-figure nights from Gallinger and Buckman, Mari Rabung added 11 points for the Bobcats (3-1).
Aberdeen hosts Vashon Island on Saturday.

Loggerettes 30, Elks 22
AMANDA PARK — A slow start for Lake Quinault helped Wishkah edge past the Elks in a Coastal 1B League game on Tuesday.
Wishkah’s Ally Ancich scored 15 points to lead the Loggerettes (3-0) to victory.
“Three of our main starters are out due to injury so that really hurt us,” Quinault coach Chris Christiansen said. “In the first half, we just couldn’t figure out our offense. We were trying to force things and it really wasn’t working. In the second half, we made some adjustments and were able to out-score them in both the third and forth quarter.”
Freshman Kariana Cole scored six points to lead the Elks (1-2).
On Friday, Wishkah travels to North River, while Lake Quinault travels to Oakville.

TAHOLAH — Denise Dolan scored 37 points as Taholah trounced North River in a Coastal League opener Tuesday night.
The Chitwhins (2-0) led 25-4 after one quarter and made frequent use of reserves after that.
“I give my girls credit with their effort, with a new offensive system and new coaches,” Taholah coach Karl Braden said. “I also give North River credit for their hustle and attitude.”
Braden cited Kayleah McCrory, Nettie Grover and eighth-grader Niamya Curley-Sailto for their performances.
The Chitwhins visit Ocosta for a non-leaguer tonight. On Friday, North River hosts Wishkah.

Warriors 56, Indians 46
PUYALLUP — Capitalizing on 34 South Bend turnovers, Chief Leschi beat the Tribe in a Pacific League game Tuesday at Puyallup.
The Warriors, shooting only 26 percent from the field, launched 31 more field-goal attempts than the Indians (2-2, 2-3).
“They were way more active than we were at every position,” South Bend coach Gary Wilson said.
Jessica Sanchez and Karley Reidinger shared South Bend scoring honors with 13 points apiece. Sanchez brought down eight rebounds, one more than Reidinger.
The Indians travel to Willapa Valley on Saturday.
