Napavine Slips by Mules at Home

Wahkiakum and Napavine combined 36 personal fouls during their game Saturday night. Here, the Mules Blake Anderson (#10) wrestles several Napavine players for a lose ball.

Sometimes a good start is not enough, when a better finish is just the ticket. The Tigers of Napavine started with a six point run, but finished with two key free throws to clinch a 48-44 2CBL victory over Wahkiakum Saturday night.

Napavine scored the first six points of the game and then went ice cold during the 1st quarter as the Mules went on a 12-0 run with half of those points produced by Chase Fritzie during his 15 point total.

Napavine's Tyson Hunt (#22) hit all of his points at key moments in the 4th quarter.

The Tigers heated up in the 2nd quarter outscoring Wahkiakum 17-10. Napavine actually raised their field goal percentage to a reckless 29% with a relatively warm second stanza. It was also during the 2nd quarter when Napavine standout Blake Anthony started his vivid contribution to the game. In the first 1:57, he scored 8 points. By the time halftime rolled around, he had contributed 13 of the Tiger’s 17 points in the quarter.

Despite the low scoring game, the Mules pushed the ball and looked for transition opportunities. Napvine was able to foil the Mules transition game in the second half allowing Wahkiakum to shoot just 36% after allowing 42% in the first half.


Wahkiakum's Ryan Helms (#5) denied the Tiger's proflic scorer Blake Anthony (#33) during the 4th quarter.

The biggest shot of the night occurred with 1:35 to go. The Tigers led 43-42 but the Mules denied Anthony the ball most of the second half. It was Colton Brown who hit a three giving Napavine a larger, almost insurmountable advantage. From that point on, the free throw contest began with Anthony hitting two of three down the stretch to ice the game.

The more athletic Tigers out rebounded the Mules 41 to 30 but the Mules spent a lot of time at the free throw line to keep the game close. Ultimately, they hit an impressive 16 of 22 from the free throw line.

Blake Anthony led all scorers with 19 points while Fritzie led the Mules with 15 points. Wade Hamre had 3 assists for Napavine and Blake Anderson had three for Wahkiakum.

Significant Wins and Losses

River Ridge 72, Elma 60
Tumwater 50, Black Hills 47

In what is probably not an upset, Tumwater handed Black Hills their first league loss and their second loss on the season. Elma however, couldn't take advantage as River Ridge took them down as the top of the Girls 2A Evergreen league bunches up with three teams with two losses.

Skyview 40 Heritage 38

Part one of the battle for the 4A Girls Greater St. Helens League battle saw Skyview on the upside of Heritage. The two horse race will resume on February 12th at Skyview.

Boys Basketball

Onalaska 60, Rainier 57

Onalaska took on Rainier in its own gym, this time with sharpshooter Jacob Fox in the line-up. The result was only slightly closer than the 61-56 win at Onalaska last weekend without Fox. Onalaska is now 11-0 on the season and hosts Winlock on Tuesday, February 3rd.

Pe Ell 58 Napavine 52

I don't know what to think of Napavine these days. Like much of the mix of Boy's 2B top teams including the Tigers, Toutle Lake, Mossyrock and Adna, nobody wants to take charge of the league.

Stevenson 56 Kalama 46

Stevenson has now defeated the what I thought were the top two teams in the 1A Boys Trico League. In addition to Kalama, the Bulldogs smoked Castle Rock a couple of weeks ago and now are in charge of the league but will visit both Castle Rock and Ilwaco next week and Kalama on February 13th.

Big Games Tonight

I made a last minute choice. Instead of heading up to Rainier to see the Loggers and Mountaineers mix it up for the second time in four days (this time I assume Rainier will have Jacob Fox), and if your are in that area, don't pass up the opportunity! I am going to head to Castle Rock to see La Center against Lacey Seidl and the Lady Rockets.

You see, the Trico League van is humming along with Ilwaco as the driver but Castle Rock and La Center trying to act of the co-pilot. One of them is not belted in. Hopefully, we will see a healthy Lauren Baker against a healthy Seidl in a great Trico League game.

Onalaska Handles Foxless Rainier

The Onalaska boys looked sharp as they defeated Rainier 51-46 in a 1A Evergreen League game on Saturday. The loss was only slightly tempered by the fact that Rainier was playing without one of its best shooters in Jacob Fox and the fact that the two teams will meet again on Tuesday night at Rainier. In fact, Onalaska will play three games in four nights as they continue to make up snowed-out and flooded-out games from December and January.

Onalaska's Brady Stanley (#10) hit four threes and hit the last two free throws of the game for 14 points.

The Mountaineers stormed out of the locker room to a 15-9 1st quarter advantage, but Onalaska went on a 10-2 run to start the 2nd quarter and went into the locker room on a 7-3 flourish. Brady Stanley hit threes during the quarter and other points were contributed by Nick Modica, Eric Messal and Zack Barnes.

The Loggers employed an aggressive defense that resulted in several quick baskets after turnovers.

The Loggers largest lead was 41--30 after two Dalton Ritchey free throws with 6:55 to go in the 4th. Rainier went on a 6-0 run with a bucket and two free throws from Kyle North and two points from Bradon Franklin. After a bucket by Ony’s Jeff Swett, Franklin contributed three more free throws as he attracted the physical play of the Loggers and the lead dwindled to just 43-39.

Onalaska may not start any Seniors, but one plays an awfully big role on the team. Erik Messal hit a three with 4:02 to extend the lead to 46-39 and then a minute later he contributed another clutch 2 pointer. Rainier scored two more free throws by North and another bucket by Frankin, but it would not be enough.

Without fellow shooter and floor leader Jacob Fox, Kyle North (#14) kept Rainier in the game and was the overall high point man with 24 points.

Onalaska’s most productive five are juniors and sophomores with only two guys on the roster listed as a forward. The floor leader for Onalaska is Dalton Ritchey. “He missed a couple of early shots and got trying a little too much. But even on a bad night, he is good,” said Onalaska Head Coach Dennis Bower. “He is our floor leader, our emotional leader, he and Brady Stanley. He is just real solid and I feel comfortable with him, even when he is trying to do too much.

The aforementioned Stanley finished with 14 points while Ritchey had 10.

Dalton Ritchey ran the floor for Onalaska and added 10 points to the team's total.

The one senior on the team sits close to the coach though.

It was the performance of Eric Messal that caught the coach's attention. “The kid that hit the big shots down the stretch was a Senior” said Bower He is a great 6th man for us. He hit some big shots for us. Even when he was missing shots early, he hit the big shots.”

Onalaska Senior Eric Messal hit some clutch shots in the 4th quarter.

The Loggers are now 11-0 and 7-0 in league.

RAINIER-Jacob Fox 0, Delton Delio 0, Kevin Volaskey 6, Kyle North 21, Tyler Schaff 1, Mitch McComb 0, Matt Tietjen 0, Brandon Eygabroad 2, Bradon Franklin 9, Chris Ashby 5. FG — 14-41NA; FT — 12-18.

Rainier Girls Take one at Onalaska

Rainier came to Onalaska for a 1A Evergreen and left with an important 38-36 victory over the home standing Lady Loggers. Nearly evenly matched, the two teams came right down to the wire with Onalaska having a chance to tie with just seconds to go.

5'11" Senior Kate Simpson scored 8 points and grabbed 8 rebounds as Rainier defeated Onalaska 38-36 Friday night.

Down 37-32 with 58 seconds to go, Hailey Givens sank a three to cut the lead to a deuce. After Rainier failed to sink two free throws, and Ony missed the front end of a one and one,. Onalaska played an effective back-court defense. Samantha Gordon and Amber Durand forced a turnover with an aggressive trap. The ball found its way to Givens who was fouled. She converted two free throws to cut the Rainier advantage to 37-36. The Lady Loggers fouled Sarah Vincent an attempt to manage the clock and she drilled one of two. After a timeout, a pass from Onalaska’s Mandy Reynoldson went through the fingers of Kailie Richey and out of bounds, but Ony’s defense was up to the challenge. It was Richey that dove onto the floor for a steal. In a frantic last second series of events, Onalaska was turned away. In the final seconds, excessive physical contact was allowed and the ball fell harmlessly to the hardwood.

It wasn’t the lack of a foul call in the final seconds that bothered Onalaska Head Coach Doug Ashmore. “We lost because of our free throw shooting,“ he said. “You can’t go 7 for 19 and expect to win.”

This, in a game that featured 40 fouls. Rainier only went 9-19 from the free throw line but dominated in close to the basket where they outscored the Loggers 22-10.

Rainier played tough defense with hands on bodies and quick cuts on offense.

There were only 8 points scored in the first quarter. The Lady Mountaineers shot for 50% early while holding Ony to just 29% in the first half.

Twice the game appeared to be slipping away from Onalaska. With 6:11 to go in the 3rd quarter, the Loggers were down 21-14 and Amber Durand hit a three to close the gap. After a turnover, Regan Givens converted a shot to narrow the deficit to 21-19.

Quick and aggressive Kristen Schoenherr led all scorers on the night with 17 points.

With 4:18 left in the 4th, Kristen Schoenherr converted a nice back-door play for two of her 17 points on the night. Ony missed one of its free throws and then Kate Simpson hit a shot to give the Mountaineers a 32-27 lead. From that point the two teams nearly traded baskets and free throws until the final, furious scramble.

Rainier Head coach Dave Wasankari was proud of his girls for coming to Onalaska and getting a win. “I knew it was going to be tough. If you can pick up a win down a couple girls like we are. I started two freshman tonight and they stepped in and it is exciting to see that.”

Rainier's Sarah Vincent at 5'1" grabbed 7 of the Mountaineers 35 rebounds.

Katie Simpson contributed 8 points and grabbed 8 rebounds for Rainier. Along with Kristen Schoenherr who is 5’5”, little 5’1” Sarah Vincent grabbed 7 rebounds. It was this kind of physicality that separated the Mountaineers from Onalaska.

“It is how we practice. Every drill is competitive, whether you are a freshman or a senior, you will have to work as hard as everybody. I think we create that atmosphere and when we get to a big game, you can see that in everybody,” said Wasankari. “Even our bench has more energy. It is just the character of the kids. They are great kids and they love to play basketball. Some kids don’t plays as much as others and it’s normal. But it doesn’t mean they are not important and it doesn’t mean they don’t have a role. A lot of times a kid down there that doesn’t play may be our greatest leader“.

Rainier Posts Huge Win over Forks

Rainier used tough defense to limit the might Lady Sparts of Forks to just 34 points during their 40-34 victory over Forks in 1A Girls Evergreen league play on Friday night. The Lady Mountainieers held Fork's Alexa Justus to just 7 points. Rainier's Kristen Schoenherr led her team with 17 points.
Rainier (10-4 overall, 6-1 league)will play Onalaska tonight during a juicy Girls/Boys doubleheader.

Doubleheader of the Day...Rainier at Onalaska

There is an odd assortment of boys and girls basketball this Saturday with many non-league games that were either snowed out or flooded during our late December weather chaos. I don't see any match-ups as intriguing as the doubleheader at Onalaska this evening. At 5:45, the Onalaska girls will take on Rainier who are now officially the leaders of the 1A Evergreen Conference with their 40-34 win over previous league-leader Forks. Onalaska is 4th, but one through six, anybody can beat anyone as Winlock proved to Toledo, and Rainier certainly showed against Forks.

The Lady Logger's record is not impressive on paper, but they have been in every game and have a competitive mentality among the very best.

"Ony is Ony and they are always tough to beat on the road, said Rainier Girls Head Coach Dave Wasankari. "They are athletic and can shoot. We will have to play well to give ourselves a chance to win."

Rainier will come straight at Ony with Kristen Schoenherr who average about 15 points and 5'9" Chelsea Owens who contributes nearly 17 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Onalaska is led by Abmber Durand who is averaging about 21 points per game. Toledo concentrated on stopping her this week and only gave up 18 points to her. The Lady Loggers throw a multitude of talent in the intangibles. They score in tight spots, and move the ball around.

______________________________________________________________________________

The Onalaska boys are quietly undefeated on the season and can't seem to get much respect as yet. A game with Winlock was rescheduled after is was flooded out earlier this month. A victory against a hard-nosed Rainier team will put them in the minds of many observers until quality is proven otherwise.

The Loggers feature five pleayers that average in double figures and there is not a Senior among them. Cody Naillon, and Eddie Miles both average close to 12 points a game and are capable of grabbing 4 to 6 rebounds a piece. Sophomore Dalton Richey has emerged as one of the floor leaders as he and Brady Stanley both average 3 assists per game. Ritchy is now averaging 13 points a game. Jeff Swett is a worker under the boards with 8 rebounds a game. He also averages about 8 points a game.

Rainier counters with the interior play of Brandon Franklin who averages 12 points and over 5 rebounds a game. Kyle North is the floor leader with 4 assists per game but also has the capability to drop a big three-ball. Jacob Fox is also a great shooter from the outside. Both North and Fox average about 9 to 10 points a game.

This will be my first chance to see the Onalaska boys and the Rainier girls! It is a great opportunity to see some intense, high quality, high school basketball

Thursday Surprises

Besides the Winlock Toledo game a couple of other surprise wins (or losses) struck me hard this morning.

Castle Rock 61 Kalama 40

Castle Rock not only took out Kalama, they took them out by 21 on their home court. Kalama's leader Point Guard Brandon Walker, Robby Sanders and Matt Pollock all got into foul trouble in the 2nd quarter. The Rockets took a big lead in the 2nd quarter and extended it in the 4th. The Rockets have solid players in the starting line-up and are probably second to none in depth.

Black Hills 61 Hoquiam 56

After taking out Centralia a couple of weeks ago, Black Hills took down another highly ranked team in the form of Hoquiam. In the process of defeating the Grizzlies 61-56, they were able to hold streaky Joey Wayman to just 13 points.

Last Second Shot Propels Lady Cards Over Toledo

I told you the Evergreen Conference was going to be a minefield.

Winlock Senior post Tasha Sayers hit a three pointer with 3.4 seconds to go to give Winlock a 52-50 upset of Toledo this evening.

Toledo led throughout the game, but Winlock climbed slowy back from a double-digit deficit beginning in the 3rd quarter.

Napavine Ranked #1 in AP 2B Polls

Unbeaten Napavine is ranked #1 in the Girl’s 2B Associated Press Poll this week. Napavine is playing at Adna at this hour. Mossyrock follows in 7th while White Pass is ranked 9th. Northwest Christian and Raymond are given honorable mention.

Games That Have Meaning in March

Of all of Tuesday’s games that matter the most, Tumwater’s upset of River Ridge is probably tops. Tumwater came storming out of a lethargic River Ridge and maintained a 25 point lead at halftime. Tumwater had four players in double figures including Daniel Devries with 20.

Toledo Contains Onalaska in Overtime Thriller

Toledo's Candi Zion (#30) of Toledo takes a shot over two Onalaska players Tuesday night.

It's the loneliest place in the gym and Onalaska Senior Guard Mandy Reynoldson stood there. The Lady Loggers were down by two points with 11.6 seconds left in regulation with Reynoldson at the line for two free throws. “I was nervous, but I just focused and tried to shut out the crowd noise” she said. She calmly sank both free throws at the end of regulation in a 1A Girls Evergreen League game between Onalaska and Toledo. The Lady Indians came back in the overtime to capture a hard fought, 48-44 victory.

It was Tiffany Tornow though that struck the first and most striking blow a minute into the overtime. She hit a three-pointer and then sank one of two free throws 16 seconds later. Brittany Hope was fouled on the ensuing rebound and she hit two free throws to extend the Toledo lead to 43-37. Baskets by Reynoldson and Amber Durand brought the Loggers back to within two at 43-41. With 1:01 left, Candi Zion was fouled and hit one of two free throws. The Loggers cashed in on the next possession as Hailey Givens was fouled and made two free throws drawing the score to 44-43. Toledo’s next possession ended with a Candi Zion jumper that led to a 46-43 lead. When Givens was fouled again with 4.5 seconds left, she missed the first and converted the second. In an attempt to stop the clock, Brittany Hope was fouled and she stepped up to the line and drained the last two shots of the night.

Few could have foreseen the dramatic ending when the Lady Indians took an 11-2 lead after the first quarter. The Loggers seemed to miss everything. Later in the game, they improved their field goal percentage to a paltry 25%.

Unhappiness seem to be the tone early.

“We didn’t play very smart tonight,” said Toledo Head Coach Mandie Olson. “I don’t know if that was contributed by their athleticism. We came out very hard and then we lapsed. I felt like we were playing at a seven or eight and then we dropped to a four,” Olson continued.

Onalaska came alive in the second quarter, taking advantage of Toledo fouls and converting six free throws from a variety of Lady Loggers and two three pointers by Amber Durand but Toledo took a 18-14 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Despite tough defense by Toledo's Tiffany Tornow, Onalaska's Amber Durand (#25) finished the game with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 2 steals. She played all 36 minutes of the game.


1:38 into the 4th quarter found Onalaska leading for the first time when Durand put in two more of her 18 points. The two teams then proceeded exchange the lead 5 times. With 1:26 to go Haley Hellem drove the lane successfully for two points a 37-35 Toledo lead.

“They are quick and they are athletic, and we could have pressed earlier, but we were more concerned with Durand then we were with the rest of the kids,” continued Olson. “That was our focus tonight to try and limit her touches of the ball. I think Tiffany Tornow did a good job on her.”

Toledo's Haley Hellem (#14) drives along the baseline during Tuesday's game against Onalaska. Hellem finished with 9 points, and 4 rebounds.

Candi Zion quietly accumulated 12 points but four other Lady Indians accumulated 6 or more points including Hellem and Tornow who both had 9 points each. Onalaska out rebounded Toledo 44 to 35 with Hailey Givens grabbing 10 and Durand 9. Above all, there was a striking difference in mistakes with Toledo forcing 32 Onalaska turnovers even though they rarely extended their defense.

“We decided not to go into a trap because they were so quick and athletic,” said Toledo Senior Post Ashley Coffey. When the Indians did employ a full court trap in the 4th quarter, the pace of the game sped up, but neither team seemed to grab an advantage.

Toledo is now 5-1 in conference play (9-2 overall) and will host Winlock on Thursday. Onalaska 3-3 (6-5) will play Montesano at home on Thursday.

District 4 teams in the TNT Top 10

We have finally arrivied at a point in the season where we can start comparing teams. For the first 6 weeks of the season, I can't figure out why anyone tries to do this, but at some point, the values begin to become clear.

To this point, I have not seen enough 3A and 4A games to make compelling arguments against those lists. While Squalicum (currently ranked #1)is a virtual unknown, only Centralia looks out of place on the 2A top 10. That will be solved this evening when they visit Hoquiam.

At the 1A level, Vashon is a no brainer, especially after their defeat of Chelan last night. They have played the toughest schedule possible and are a point from being undefeated. Of course, that one loss was to Roosevelt High School in Portland, Oregon. One team that is lurking and should at least be included in the outside group is Onalaska, They are being punished I suspect for playing weak competition thus far but undefeated is just that!

I have few arguments with the girl's top 10, but there is a lot of basketball yet to be played!


Tacoma News-Tribune High School Girls Top 10.

At the 4A level, there are no teams from District 4 in the TNT rankings. 3A District 4 teams in the top 10 include only mighty Prairie High that dropped from 4A last year to its current level. Southwest Washington is well represented at the 2A level with Black Hills at 2nd, Elma at 7th and Hockinson at 9th. Teams at the 1A level are limited with only Forks cracking the 10, but La Center, Onalaska, Rainier and Toledo all received honorable mention as teams just outside the big list.

Tacoma News-Tribune High School Boys Top 10.

The firs Distrct 4 team thought to be in the top 10 at the 4A or 3 A level is Columbia River which was included at the number 5 spot. The 2A Evergreen conference is well represented with River Ridge, Hoquiam and Centralia holding the 3rd, 6th and 10 spots respectively. Centralia’s hold on a Top 10 ranking may be in peril as they travel to # 6 Hoquiam tonight. Not to be out done, Mark Morris from the Greater St. Helens League holds the number 2 spot on the charts. At the 1A level, Winlock moved up to the 3rd spot while Kalama earned honorable mention just outside the top 10.
