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.

Castle Rock Shows Versatility in League Victory
From a sloppy start, the Castle Rock Lady Rockets left no doubt they are a force to be reckoned with as they defeated Stevenson 50-24 in a Trico League game on Monday evening.
Senior Guard Lacey Seidl finished a transition lay-in ahead of Stevenson's Jen Rathgeber during the Lady Rockets 50-24 victory over the Bulldogs on Tuesday night.
The Lady Bulldogs came out quickly with a 4-2 lead but couldn’t cash in on the aggressive, foul-prone play of Castle Rock in the 1st quarter. Powder blue at the free throw line was a common sight as Castle Rock was guilty of 12 fouls in the first half, but converted charity shots were few and far between. Stevenson made just 4 of 14 free-throws in the first two quarters.
The initial half was also a tale of two quarters. Castle Rock led by a slim margin of just 11-8 after the 1st, but in the first 2:15 of the 2nd quarter, the Rockets blasted off on a 14-0 run that led to a 29-12 halftime advantage.
Make no mistake, Castle Rock’s offense goes through 5’6 Senior Guard Lacey Seidl who scored 20 points and accomplished 8 thefts in less 3 quarters of play but the Lady Rockets pass on few open shots. Kayleigh Klingberg added 12 points and 9 rebounds while sharpshooter Kelsey Bishop contributed 9 points.
“When Kelsey and Taylor are shooting the ball well, we are pretty tough to defend because Lacey is so quick and gets the ball to the open man, “ said Castle Rock Head Coach Scott Spencer. “When they are shooting like that, we are a pretty tough team to beat“.
Action and scoring ground to a halt in the 3rd with a technical foul on Stevenson’s Mandy Stump for a flagrant foul. Two exchanges later Stump and Seidl had a violent collision in the front court while pursuing a lose ball. Stump hobbled off the floor not to return while Seidl continued to play briefly.
A few minutes later, Seidl was involved in another collision as she attempted a transition lay-up and chipped a tooth when she struck the floor, apparently face-first. She did not return to the game.
By the time of Seidl’s injury, the game belonged to Castle Rock. Bench players came into to assure the contest got into the records.
“Two freshmen, Maddie Klingberg and Bailey Mitchell that went in and played real well and got some quality minutes and that is what you need out of your subs,” assured Spencer. “You need them to get on the floor and not make mistakes, take care of the basketball and get a rebound and play some defense. And of course, (Junior) Kayleigh Kingberg kind of took over when Lacey was gone. She is coming into her own. They just fill the gaps,” said Spence of his bench players. “Certainly when Lacey is not on the floor, we are a different team, but I thought they did a good job“.
Spencer was also pleased with his undersized team on the boards who out rebounded Stevenson on both offensive and defensive boards. Smanatha Moore grabbed 11 rebounds for the Rockets.
“I was very pleased with Sam Moore inside, blockin’ out and getting some boards for us. She is just a hustler,” Spencer admitted.
Castle Rock (6-1 and 2-0) will host a non-conference game with Astoria next Tuesday. Stevenson (4-7 and 0-2) will host league leading La Center on Friday.

Castle Rock Strikes Back
It was just a day or two ago that I declared my allegance to Kalama based on my observations of both teams and their performance against 2A Ridgefield.
!
Ridgefield defeated the Rockets earlier in the season and Kalama dropped a loss on them earlier this week. Last Night Castle Rock hosted the Spudders 52-38.
So, let's go back to the start The Rockets and the Chinooks are a match to really look forward to
