SPORTS: Port Angeles girls basketball team rips North Kitsap; other prep reports

PORT ANGELES — Jessica Madison ripped the nets for 23 points to spark the Port Angeles girls basketball team to an easy romp over North Kitsap on Tuesday night.

The Roughriders beat the Vikings 78-27 with four players scoring in double figures.

Taylyn Jeffers sank 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds while Kiah Jones scored 12 and had a game-high 11 boards.

Mariah Frazier had 11 points for the Riders.

Port Angeles improves to 7-0 overall and in the Olympic League.

“North Kitsap works hard but they are real young,” coach Mike Knowles said.

“There are no seniors on their team and they play two freshmen. In a year or so they will be good.”

The Riders led 23-7 at the end of the first quarter and 40-18 at halftime.

Port Angeles out-rebounded the Vikings 38-19.

They have a much tougher opponent in their first nonleague game of the season Thursday night at home.

The Class 2A Riders host 4A Mount Tahoma.

“That will be a good test for us,” Knowles said. “They are four times our [school] size and they have a 6-6 post.”

The Riders’ tallest player is Kiah Jones at 6-foot.
