JOYCE — Crescent hung with the Sequim junior varsity boys basketball team for much of the game before tiring late in a 59-29 loss.
“Sequim shot the heck out of the ball and we only shot 35 percent,” Loggers coach Chris Ferrier said.
“We kind of ran out of gas in the fourth quarter and that stretched the final score out a little, but it was a very competitive game.”
Crescent trailed 16-12 after one quarter and 28-19 at halftime before the Wolves added to their lead in the second half.
Ferrier said he was pleased with the growth he saw from his team.
“The guys flat out competed for 32 minutes,” Ferrier said.
“Our guys are really buying into a new system and playing unselfishly.
“Lots of room to improve, but it’s a season-long process and we are making progress.”
McCabe Story led the Loggers with 10 points and six rebounds.
KC Spencer added 10 more points and Neil Peppard led Crescent in rebounding with seven boards.
The Loggers (0-2) host Quilcene tonight.

AMANDA PARK — Three Bruins scored in double figures in a nonleague rout of the Wolfpack.
Freshman Ryan McCoy posted a double-double for Clallam Bay, scoring 21 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
McCoy also notched three assists, three steals and a block.
“He has a pretty decent shot on him,” Bruins coach Kelly Gregory said.
“He runs the court well and he’s not afraid to get out there. None of the freshman are afraid.”
Senior Alan Greene scored 18 points and led Clallam Bay with seven steals.
Greene also added three rebounds and three assists.
“He was all over the place for us,” Gregory said.
“He had a great game. He starts smelling blood and you can almost see the eyes get big on the other team’s players.”
Kyle Keys added 14 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals for the Bruins, and Dakotah Cowdrey grabbed nine rebounds and scored six points.
“We never really pressed them [defensively],” Gregory said.
“We just stayed on them defensively pretty good.
“Our ball pressure was really good, and it was hard for them to get anything going.”
