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.

Other Interesting Games Tonight

Centralia at Hoquiam Evergreen 2A Boys)

Ranked Hoquiam and near ranked Centralia will play tonight in the Grizzlies home gym. There may not be a hotter player in Washington State High School Basketball than Hoquiam Senior Joey Wayman. In recent days, he poured in 44 against Tumwater but has had solid enough play to be nominated to the McDonald’s All-American Basketball Game. In addition, Hoquiam Junior Daniel Adams has been playing well enough to give the Grizzles and excellent chance in all of their games.

Mark Morris at Kelso

2A powerhouse Mark Morris will play a non-league match with cross-river 4A rival Kelso. While the Highlanders have had a tough time in their league that includes highly ranked Columbia River and Mountain View, Mark Morris has suffered two losses to 4A Mountain View and an Australian travel team.
