Stevens wins

CHIMACUM — Stevens Middle School pushed past Chimacum 50-21 in eighth grade boys basketball action.

“First away game of the season, [we] started a little slow but turned up the defensive pressure and cruised to a significant victory,” coach Scott Soule said.

“Offensively, [we] played a little too fast and committed several unforced turnovers, but that speed was also [active] on the defensive end creating double-digit steals.”

Stevens (2-0) visits Sequim on Tuesday.
