GIRLS BASKETBALL: Sammy Rae posts triple-double to lead Quilcene to senior night win

QUILCENE — Senior Sammy Rae posted a triple-double on senior night to lead Quilcene to a 75-33 blowout of Puget Sound Adventists.

Rae scored 20 points, grabbed 16 rebounds and dished 11 assists in Monday’s victory.

She also added three blocks and a steal for the Rangers (5-4, 13-6).

Rae is the SeaTac 1B League leader in rebounds and assists per game this season.

“This was a big win for us and gets us out of a three-way tie for fifth place in the SeaTac 1B league for the moment,” Quilcene coach Briana Weller said.

“It was a great night for all the girls, and especially for Sammy Rae who played such an outstanding game in front of family and friends.

“I’m so proud of all of them.”

Three other Rangers notched double-doubles.

Megan Weller poured in a game-high 24 points and added 10 assists, four steals and four boards for Quilcene.

Freshman Katie Love added 10 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals, and classmate Emily Hitt chipped in with 10 points, 10 boards and four assists.

“Junior Kaitlyn Hitt continued her tough inside play with two points and five rebounds and freshman Hannah Williams added 2 points and 2 rebounds,” Weller said.

Others seeing the court included freshman Alexis Grey, and junior varsity call-ups Sydney Brown, Kourtney Benek, and Cady Johnson.

The Rangers will open postseason play on Monday, hosting either the SeaTac League’s seventh or eighth seed in a loser-out contest.

The winner will advance to further league tourney play at Evergreen Lutheran High School on Thursday, Feb. 12.
