JOYCE — A 9-0 second quarter boosted Clallam Bay to a 48-42 North Olympic League win over Crescent.
Ryan McCoy led the way with 20 points and Caiton Smith added 13 for the Bruins. (2-1, 4-4) in Thursday’s contest.
“Obviously, the second quarter was a real-bug-a-boo,” Crescent coach Chris Ferrier said. “We got real tentative and we weren’t real sure what we wanted to do against their zone and we had a hard time getting shots up, let alone scoring points.”
“We got after it in the fourth quarter, but the deficit was a little too large with our offensive struggles. We’d get a stop and then come down and not get a decent shot and they’d come back and hit a three.”
Ferrier gave credit to the Bruins.
“[Coach] Kelly [Gregory] does a really good job with that team,” Ferrier said. “They know exactly what to do to be successful. We had a really hard time with Clallam Bay’s hustle.”
Crescent (1-2, 4-6) visits Chief Kitsap on Wednesday.

“Baysinger had a great night, he did lots of great things in close to the basket,” coach Rick Gooding said.
Braton Armas and Cort Prose added 14 points apiece and Seth Johnson had 10. Gooding said those totals came in about 2 ½ quarters as Forks’ reserves saw plenty of action.
