PORT TOWNSEND — It was bad enough that the Port Townsend girls basketball team was rusty after a week off because of the snow and ice.
But on the Redskins first game back they had to take on the deeper and bigger North Kitsap Vikings in Olympic League action Monday night in a makeup game.
The fourth-place Vikings (7-4, 8-5) beat the seventh-place Redskins (3-8, 7-8) 62-40.
“We got into foul trouble and did not have the depth to stay with them,” Port Townsend coach Randy Maag said.
“We did have some turnover problems in the second half but we played pretty well in the first half.”
Port Townsend stayed with the Vikings in the first half, leading 14-12 at the end of the first quarter and trailing only 23-19 at the break.
North Kitsap, though, put the game away with a 39-21 advantage in the final two periods.
Irina Lyons led the Redskins with 13 points while the Vikings had four players scoring in double figures, sparked by Rebecca Baugh’s 19 points.
The Redskins next host Olympic on Friday night. They played at Kingston Tuesday but results were unavailable by press time.

JOYCE — The youthful Wolves used a strong third quarter to hold off the Loggers in the nonleague game Monday night.
Crescent led 17-15 at halftime but Sequim took over with an 11-2 third period to take a 15-point lead.
The Loggers (1-1 in the North Olympic League and 4-7 overall) came back in the fourth quarter to make it close.
Crescent’s Sara Moore led everybody with 13 points while Sequim’s Haley Lester sank a team-high nine.
“Both of the teams were tired because of no practice last week,” Crescent coach Brian Scott said.
Because of snow and ice, the Loggers had only a short practice Saturday for the whole week.
That helped make the Loggers rusty for the game.
Crescent next plays at Clallam Bay on Friday in league action.
