SPORTS: Chimacum boys basketball rolls to eighth straight win; beats archrival Port Townsend on Wednesday night

PORT TOWNSEND — Landon Cray scorched the nets for 20 points to spark Chimacum over archrival Port Townsend in the first round of the Redskins’ Crush in the Slush basketball tournament Wednesday night.

The Cowboys ran out to a 16-3 lead after one quarter and cruised to a 54-26 victory to remain perfect on the year at 8-0 (3-0 in Nisqually League).

The win put Chimacum into the championship game in its division against Seattle Academy tonight.

“Seattle Academy is a good team,” Chimacum coach Jim Eldridge said.

“We will have to play better than we did [Wednesday night] to win.”
