LIVE GAME COVERAGE

Tahoma boys 40, Vashon Island 36: The Bears were in control most of the way in the opening game of the 2019 King Showcase, paced by a game-high 14 points from 6-foot-7 senior forward Kimball Cottam, who also pulled down six rebounds.

Senior forward Colton Dean added 10 points and seven rebounds for the Bears (10-8), who held onto their lead late despite a 16-point fourth-quarter push by the Pirates.

Junior guard Jeremiah Bogaard led Vashon (12-4) with 11 points, and was the only Pirates scorer in double figures.

Kentwood boys 73, Davis 68: Earl Lee III poured in a game-high 36 points on 14 of 23 (60.9 percent) shooting, including nailing six 3-pointers, but it wasn’t enough to lift the Pirates past Kentwood’s balanced attack.

The Conquerors (11-7) had three scorers in double figures, led by Iyzik Pam’s team-high 16 points and six rebounds, and often capitalized in transition to hold off several second-half pushes by Davis.

The Pirates (4-12) consistently threatened Kentwood’s lead throughout the contest, but the Conquerors never trailed after James Laurence — who added 10 points — buried a 3-pointer with 55 seconds left in the opening quarter.

Ben Roggenbach also had 10 points for Kentwood, while Jose Reyes had 14 points and seven rebounds for Davis, and Dhantaye Bennet-Joe added 10 points and nine rebounds.

Bellarmine Prep girls 53, Moses Lake 44: Despite two starters fouling out with significant time remaining in the second half, the Lions (14-2) did enough to hold off a surging Moses Lake team late in the fourth quarter, extending current their winning streak to 13 games.

Julia Bordeaux, who scored 16 points for the Lions on an efficient 6 of 8 (75 percent) shooting, picked up her fifth foul with one minute, 34 seconds left in the third quarter. Reyelle Frazier, who pulled down nine rebounds for the Lions, left with 4:56 remaining in the fourth.

Moses Lake (9-7) outscored the Lions, 19-12, with the two starters out of the game, but Bellarmine did enough down the stretch, including sinking all six of its free throw attempts in the final 1:23 to secure the win.

“They are seasoned. They are experienced. They have a great program. This was a great win for us,” Bellarmine coach Kim West said. “Bigger than that, we learned from it, we grew from it and gained some confidence … on a big stage.”

Bellarmine led by as many as 16 points, entering the break with a 31-15 lead, but Moses Lake trimmed it to as close as seven late in the fourth.

Chiefs’ guard Madisyn Clark led all scorers with 17 points and pulled down five rebounds. Callie Stevens also poured in 16 points for the Lions, including four 3-pointers.

The Bears were also without senior forward Ciara Gatpatan, who has missed the past four games with a concussion, and sophomore Delaney Rettko, who is out with a torn ACL.

“These kids have really adjusted,” West said. “We’e had four games without her (Gatpatan), and Delaney was our sixth man. These kids have stepped up.”

Prairie girls 58, West Seattle 50: Prairie and West Seattle entered this meeting regarded as two of the top programs in Class 3A this season, and certainly displayed why.

The Falcons (14-1) walked away with the win, after holding West Seattle (13-3) to 50 points, which matches its season low, but both programs showed the discipline and toughness needed to succeed in March.

“I think we’re going to get to see a lot more teams like them as we get closer to playoffs, so I think this was a really good game for us,” said Prairie’s Cassidy Gardner, a Portland State signee who scored a team-high 19 points, including five 3-pointers, and pulled down five rebounds.

Prairie carried a slim 29-27 lead into the break, and outscored West Seattle, 12-4, in the third quarter to pull away, and led by as many as 13 points.

“I think we just came in wanting to put all of our energy out on defense,” Gardner said. “We know if we play good defense it’s going to lead to our offense.”

Fresno State signee Brooke Walling added 15 points and six rebounds for the Falcons, while Meri Dunford had 13 points and nine rebounds. 

Standout junior Meghan Fiso led West Seattle with 19 points, while Grace Sarver had 13 points and nine rebounds.

Kittitas boys 77, Kentlake 52: Gonzaga signee Brock Ravet nearly completed a triple-double to lift the Coyotes, who have won the past two 2B state titles, to a blowout win in the first trip they have made west of the mountains in Ravet’s career.

“We have a lot of people that say we’re a small school and we can’t play with the big guys. I hope that helped prove something,” Ravet said.

Ravet entered the game 159 points shy of the state’s all-time scoring record set by Sunnyside Christian’s Lance Den Boer (2,851 points), and made a good dent in the deficit. 

He scored a game-high 30 on 45.8 percent shooting, hit six 3-pointers during the contest, and added 13 rebounds and eight assists.

Caleb Harris added 16 points and nine rebounds for the Coyotes, while Bailey Gibson pitched in 13 points.

Michael Alar led Kentlake with 16 points, and was the only Falcons scorer in double figures. Jaleel Walton finished with seven points and a team-high 10 rebounds.

Woodinville girls 72, Kentridge 71 (OT): UW signee JaQuaya Miller had a team-high 30 points and 24 rebounds, and Jordyn Jenkins added 17 points and six rebounds before fouling out, but the Falcons outlasted the Chargers in overtime behind sophomore Mia Hughes’ game-high 37.

The Chargers (16-2) have been considered the 4A state favorite for much of the season, and this was their first in-state loss since last year’s tournament in the Tacoma Dome.

“It humbles us,” Miller said. “We know there is somebody out there working just as hard as us. We know that people are trying to come for us. It’s not a shock to us. We knew it was going to be a tough game, but we didn’t think we were going to lose.”

After Jenkins, who with Miller offers dominant one-two punch in the post, fouled out with more than two minutes remaining in the third quarter, the Falcons (16-2) orchestrated a late comeback.

Hughes scored 10 of her 37 points in the fourth quarter, and Veronica Sheffey nailed a 3-pointer to give the Falcons their first lead of the game with 1:38 to play. 

Hughes added another basket on Woodinville’s next possession to push the lead to three points.

Tiffani Pham answered with 21 seconds left on a long 3-pointer before Hughes was fouled with 6.3 seconds to play. She missed both free throws, sending the game to overtime, but gave the Falcons what turned out to be the decisive basket seven seconds into the overtime period.

Kentridge kept the deficit manageable, and hit a 3-pointer with less than two seconds to play to cut the lead to 72-71, but Woodinville tossed the ball in-bounds to end it.

Madison DuBois added 11 points for the Falcons, while Sheffey had 10 points and eight rebounds.

TEAM STATISTICS

W — Shooting: 26 of 67 (38.8 percent). Free throws: 17 of 26 (65.4). Turnovers: 7.

K — Shooting: 25 of 60 (41.7 percent). Free throws: 15 of 20 (75). Turnovers: 16.

Mount Si boys 46, Enumclaw 29: Tyler Patterson scored a game-high 18 points, Jabe Mullins added 15 points and six rebounds, and the Wildcats completed a double-digit win over the Hornets.

Enumclaw led by a point after the first quarter, but Mount Si (16-2) took control after that, limiting the Hornets (7-11) to single digits in each of the final three frames. The Wildcats led by as many as 17 points, and never trailed in the second half.

No Hornets player reached double digits in scoring. Travis Smith was the closest, finishing with nine points and four rebounds, while Peter Erickson added eight points and four rebounds.

TEAM STATISTICS

MS — Shooting: 20 of 37 (54.1 percent). Free throws: 3 of 3 (100). Turnovers: 9.

Eastlake boys 65, Lincoln 61: Casey Jones and Matt Thompson each poured in 23 points for the Wolves, and combined for seven 3-pointers to lift Eastlake (6-12) past the Abes after trailing early on.

Thompson added six rebounds, Jones had five, and Jackson Proctor chipped in nine points and four rebounds in the win.

The lead changed hands nine times, and the game was tied six, but the Abes (13-3) couldn’t climb out of a late hole — in part due to some timely Eastlake 3-pointers — dropping their first loss since December.

“Didn’t execute all the way through like we talked about,” Lincoln coach Ryan Rogers said. “Too many shots just didn’t go in. To their credit, they executed and they hit some shots down the stretch.”

Jayden Simon led the Abes with 22 points and pulled down nine rebounds, while Kashaud Babbs added 15 points.

Rogers hopes the loss — which came in the most similar venue to the Tacoma Dome the Abes will play in before the playoffs — generates improvement during the final stretch of the regular season.

“It’s the Dome atmosphere,” he said. “Having the see-through backboards and big open space was an opportunity for us to get that atmosphere, and we learned something from it.”
