JOYCE — Crescent coach Kelly Serrianne said her five-player team had a standout game despite having to play the entire contest without a break.
“Senior Jasmine O’Neel played an outstanding game on senior night, draining eight points and pulling down 20 rebounds and two steals,” Serrianne said.
“Brand new to basketball, freshmen Cheyanne Green shined on the court. This was Cheyanne’s best game yet and exactly what she needed to gain confidence in herself.”
Serrianne said Green had a great drive to the hoop that ended with a left-handed lay-in that was quite impressive for such a novice player. She led the team with 10 points and seven rebounds.
Point guard Chloe Mandeville added five points and did a great job moving the ball and seeing down the court, according to Serrianne.
Freshman Mackenzie Belford added five points and was attacking the basket, driving to the hoop and drawing fouls against the aggressive Bears.

JOYCE — Minus some bumpy portions of the fourth quarter, the Loggers controlled this game the whole way, leading the Bears from start to finish to pick up a North Olympic League win.
“We were able to get out in front early and we never lost the lead,” Crescent coach Chris Ferrier said. “It was a physical, chippy game, but my guys really kept their heads and we managed to squeeze out another win.”
Ferrier was pleased with his team’s rebounding and defensive performance.
“As a team [we] grabbed 38 rebounds and won the rebound battle against a bigger team,” Ferrier said. “Fantastic team rebounding effort. [And] 37 points defensively is fantastic, I’ll take that.”
Ferrier also had praise for his two seniors, Noah Leonard and Kylan Scheid.
“What a great couple of young men,” Ferrier said. “Last regular season home game for them and they were both played huge roles in the win.”

BELFAIR — The Redhawks played well in the second half picked up a road win against the Class 2A Bulldogs
“We came out and played real good defense and passed the ball well out of halftime,” Port Townsend coach Tom Webster said.

Two Redhawks acheived double-doubles in points and rebounds.
Noa Montoya had 18 points and 11 rebounds and Nico Winegar added 17 points and 12 boards.
“Nico had a couple of And-1 plays in transition and was 7 of 7 from the free throw line,” Webster said.
“We had eight 3s. Noa had four and Cole Crawford had three 3s in the first half, he kind of carried us.
Port Townsend (3-2, 9-7) wrapped its regular season at Klahowya late Thursday.
The Redhawks will visit the Nisqually League runner-up next Saturday in a loser-out, Class 1A West Central District Tournament contest.
