TACOMA — The Chimacum girls basketball team rained eight 3-pointers down upon the Charles Wright Tarriers and withstood a 26-point night from Cydney Hughes to earn a Nisqually League win Friday.
The Cowboys won 56-50.
Ke Ke Snyder buried four shots from distance on her way to 16 points, and Mallori Cossell hit three 3s and had 14 points.
Point guard Cydney Nelson also netted eight points while turning the ball over just one time as the Cowboys (2-1 in league, 3-4 overall) earned a critical road victory.
“In the end Cydney just grew up, just pulled herself together and played like a senior even though she’s a junior,” Chimacum coach Brad Burlingame said.
“It’s something I’ve been waiting for. She just did a great job.”
Hughes, a 6-foot-6 post, gave Chimacum fits on the defensive end. But by pressuring the Tarrier guards with a press, the Cowboys were able to keep it out of her hands enough to escape with the win.

PORT ANGELES — The Roughriders exploded for a 23-6 second quarter and never looked back in Friday’s Olympic League game.
Krista Johnson scored a game-high 16 points and Mariah Frazier added 14 to lead a group of 10 Rider scorers in the blowout.
“They just struggled against the full-court pressure and we played pretty good defense,” Rider coach Michael Poindexter said.

JOYCE — The Loggers (0-3 overall) turned the ball over 28 times, and their offense was never quite able to get untracked as a result in Friday night’s nonleague loss to the Chitwhins.
Sara Moore scored a team-high 14 points in the loss but was the lone Logger in double figures.
“They had spurts of excellence and then they got nervous again and started throwing the ball away,” Crescent coach Brian Scott said.

ROCHESTER — Casey Williams of the Spartans suffered a head injury toward the end of the game that stopped action for almost an hour Friday night in the SWL-Evergreen Division game.
Williams, the top scorer for the Spartans, was released by a hospital in the Centralia area at 1 a.m. Saturday after a collision sent her to the floor with 1:07 left in the game.
“Casey was playing defense and there were several people on the sidelines, about three, and she fell backwards onto the floor after colliding with them, bouncing hard on the floor twice,” Forks coach Cris Wilmarth said.
Casey Williams will see her doctor this week and very likely will not play in Forks’ final game before Christmas break at Tenino on Tuesday, Wilmarth said.
The Spartans (0-2, 1-4) led Rochester 24-15 at halftime but was outscored 36-16 in the second half.
“We fouled too much, and most of that came in the second half,” Wilmarth said.
Rochester shot 46 free throws for the game, most of them coming in the second half, while the Spartans missed 12 free throws of their own.
Despite missing the last part of the game, Williams scored a team-high 11 points.
