PORT TOWNSEND — The Port Angeles girls basketball machine steamrolled past Port Townsend 86-36 for its fourth straight win to begin the season Tuesday night.
Jessica Madison scored 26 points, swing player Paxton Rodocker had 17 and Kiah Jones added 13 to help Port Angeles start its Olympic League schedule 4-0
“We played well,” said Port Angeles coach Mike Knowles, whose team hasn’t lost a league game since ’09. “We shot the ball really well [nine 3s on the game]. We attacked the hoop well.
“Our defense wasn’t as good as I would have liked it to be. Tomorrow we’ll start working on it.”
Caroline Dowdle led the Redskins (2-2 in league, 2-3 overall) with nine points, while Kiley Maag had eight and Bella Fox six.
“The Port Townsend girls have improved a lot,” Knowles said. “They played hard. They attacked us.
“We actually had to call some timeouts.”
Port Angeles hosts Bremerton on Wednesday, while Port Townsend travels to Kingston the same night.

Webb scored 25 points and dished out a team-high six assists, while Camporini netted 20 points in Sequim’s fourth straight victory.
The duo’s fireworks trumped what was an incredible scoring night from Bremerton’s Andre Coleman, who ripped the nets for 32 points.
