FORKS — McKinnon Hanson had 25 points and six steals as the Forks High School girls basketball team rushed to a 52-39 nonleague win over Clallam Bay on Tuesday.

King’s West 54, Crescent 27

BREMERTON — Tiffany Winters scored 10 points and Ruth Wilhelm added nine but it was far from enough as King’s West doubled the Loggers (2-2) in nonleague play.

“They shot the ball very well,” Crescent coach Terry Kahler said of the Warriors.

“They’re always up in the thick of it (in the postseason). It kind of gives us an idea of what we’re going to face if we end up in Tri-Districts.”

Kristin Anderson led the Warriors with 15 points.

Forks (2-2 overall, 1-0 Southwest Washington League) was led by the 15 points of Kevin Silcox and 14 of Shawn Cole. D.J. Huggins added eight.
