Ocosta 66, Raymond 59

The Ocosta Wildcats rallied form a first-half deficit to defeat the Raymond Seagulls 66-59 on Friday in Raymond.

After Raymond (0-2 overall, 0-2 Pacific 2B) came out hot in the first quarter — hitting on 6-of-8 3-pointers to take a 23-12 lead — Ocosta responded by slowly chipping away at the deficit and overtaking the Seagulls in the second half.

Tre Seydel led the way for Raymond in the first half, scoring 21 of his game-high 23 points before halftime.

“I thought we did well shooting the basketball in the first half, particularly in the first quarter,” said Raymond head coach Derek Rask, who added the momentum swung in Ocosta’s favor after the break. “We had a poor third quarter on both ends of the floor. Give (Ocosta) a lot of credit. They took us out of rhythm offensively and we struggled to score.”

Ocosta’s Omar Luque recorded a double-double with 14 points and 18 rebounds and Kyle Wardlow came off the bend to score 10 points for the Wildcats. Cole Hatton led the Wildcats in scoring with 15 points.

“We had to change our game plan defensively and get out further from the basket,” Ocosta head coach Jason Quinby said about the adjustments his team made to slow down Raymond in the first half. “We had a good mix of in-and-out defense tonight, which kept things from getting jammed. We turned the ball over more than I’d like, but we found ways to score when we needed to.”

Northwest Christian 61, Willapa Valley 48

Without two of its top players, the Willapa Valley Vikings struggled in a 61-48 loss to Northwest Christian on Friday in Lacey.

Playing without two of its leaders in Logan Walker and Beau Buchanan, Willapa Valley (1-1, 1-1 Pacific 2B) stayed close but could not overtake Northwest Christian (3-0, 2-0), falling behind by seven points at halftime.

Without the 6-foot-3 Walker, who was sidelined after reaggravating a shoulder injury against Raymond on Wednesday, and 6-foot-6 center Buchanan, who was out with an illness, the Vikings were outrebounded 38-21, which led to extra offensive opportunities for the Wolverines.

With two of his top players unavailable, Willapa Valley head coach Jay Pearson was able to see what other players could do stepping into roles they were unfamiliar with.

“It was a great game to get some guys some playing time,” he said. “It gave other players an opportunity to prove themselves and we learned a lot. I liked what I saw.”

Pearson noted the play of senior guard Chad Flemetis, who scored a team-high 16 points and added five assists.

“He was attacking the basket well and making the right decisions when to dish,” Pearson said of Flemetis.

Tyler Adkins also had a good game for the Vikings. Adkins gave Willapa Valley a spark of the bench, scoring 12 points in the second half by hitting on four 3-pointers.

“I was proud that our kids played hard and we’re going to build on this,” Pearson said. “We know where we’re headed.”

Willapa Valley’s scoring woes continued, but the Vikings still emerged with a 30-18 victory over Northwest Christian on Friday in Lacey.

After suffering a season-opening loss on Wednesday to Raymond in which the Vikings committed 22 turnovers, Willapa Valley (1-1, 1-1 Pacific 2B) had just 10 turnovers on Friday.

Cami Swartz and Katie Adkins each scored nine points to lead Willapa Valley, which again struggled to put the ball through the hoop, according to head coach John Peterson.

“We’re struggling on offense like crazy, but we did improve,” he said. “We’re doing other things OK. We took care of the ball and are getting good shots. … We’re kind of in a transitional period as a team, having people play in positions they’re not used to. I told the kids, ‘We’re close. We’re not making the shots but we’re getting them now.”
