Grizzlies 73, Hyaks 62
Erupting for 27 points in the fourth quarter, Hoquiam turned back North Beach in a non-league contest Wednesday night at Hoquiam Square Garden.
Rayyon Dayton and Matt Brown registered double-doubles for the Grizzlies (4-10). Dayton scored as team-high 22 points and pulled down 10 rebounds. The brawny Brown had 20 rebounds and six assists to go with his 17 points.
Victor James contributed 21 points as the Grizzlies survived a 28-point assault from North Beach’s Steven Sotomish. The latter played for Hoquiam as a sophomore before transferring.
The still short-handed Grizzlies received some strong contributions from Kyle Larsen and Cameron Bumstead down the stretch. Larsen hit consecutive 3-point shots early in the fourth quarter to increase Hoquiam’s lead to eight points. Bumstead, who filled in at point guard, added a three-ball later in the period.
“That’s what really sparked the run,” Hoquiam coach Curtis Eccles said. He also cited the reserve work of Bryan Morales.
Marcus Pope scored 12 points and Rodney Washington 11 for North Beach (5-9).
The Hyaks visit Willapa Valley on Friday. The Grizzlies will be idle until Wednesday, when they resume league action at Montesano.
