FRIDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS
Gig Harbor won six events as the Tides wrapped up the Narrows 4A boys swimming title Friday afternoon with 339 team points — just ahead of Olympia (290) and reigning 4A champion Stadium (289). North Thurston won the Narrows 3A crown at Mount Tahoma.
Dom Robinson had a game-high 16 points, and fifth-ranked Curtis captured the SPSL South 4A boys basketball title by hammering Emerald Ridge, 62-38. It’s the Vikings’ third league crown in four seasons.
Dezmyn Trent and No. 6 Foss appear to be rounding into form for a Narrows 3A showdown Wednesday against No. 1 Lincoln. On Friday, Trent had 31 points, and the Falcons beat North Thurston, 84-60.
Donaven Dorsey scored 23 points, and his free throws in the fourth quarter enabled Timberline to survive a Wilson comeback as the Blazers won, 69-62, to seize control of the final playoff spot in the Narrows 3A.
Aarun Rumbaugh got Auburn Mountainview off to a fast start, and his game-high 15 points helped the Lions hold off Lakes, 49-46, to sweep their SPSL 3A season series. With two games to go, Auburn Mountainview and Enumclaw are tied atop the standings.
No. 6 White River survived Steilacoom’s upset bid by eking out a 52-50 road victory in SPSL 2A action. Dustin France led the Hornets with 21 points, but the team lost point guard Alex Sayler (ankle) for an indefinite period.
It was a shootout between No. 4 Clover Park and Sumner, with David Crisp scoring 42 points for the Warriors and the Spartans’ Keenan Jackson tallying 28, but Clover Park prevailed, 85-70, in an SPSL 2A contest.
Brittany McPhee made sure No. 1 Mount Rainier locked up the SPSL North girls basketball title a week early. The junior scored a game-high 28 points, and Aqueelah Williams added 19 as the Rams defeated Auburn Riverside, 73-58.
No. 3 Wilson is closing in on the Narrows 3A crown after demolishing its nearest competitor Timberline, 62-26, in Tacoma. Post player Tia Briggs led the Rams with 24 points.
McKenzie DeVore had 11 points as Yelm beat Olympia, 49-38, to remain in contention for the Narrows 4A title.
