KINGSTON — The Roughriders wrapped up the regular season with a road loss to the Buccaneers.
“It’s now my least favorite gym in the whole league,” coach Kevin Ruble joked
“Kingston played really well. They hit shots eaarly and we had to battle back. It kind of felt like we were playing from behind all night. We’d put some plays together and they would hit a big 3 and take back the momentum.
Port Angeles trailed 57-55 with 2:10 left to play when Kingston made its move.
“They came down and hit a 3-point play on us, a foul on a basket and the free throw,” Ruble said. “We had a string of possessions to close it out and where we had good looks but we couldn’t get them to fall.”
Hunter Flores led the Riders with 14 points. John Ruddell and Brock Hope each had 13 and Brock Pierce had a dozen.
Port Angeles (8-6, 10-9) finished fourth overall in the Olympic League standings and will find out its district tournament seeding on Monday, Ruble said.
