CC Roundup: Trailblazers fall to Storm in NWAC Crossover opener

Posted

The Centralia College men's basketball team had its best offensive outing of the season on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough, as the Trailblazers were beaten by Chemeketa 92-82 in the first game of the NWAC Crossover.

The Trailblazers trailed by 10 at halftime, and early in the second half, they got within three.

The Storm then went on a 25-9 run to rebuild the lead and then some, and the Trailblazers never got back within seven.

Andrew Collins scored 22 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out four assists to lead the team in all three categories.

Shay Brannon added 18 points and five rebounds, while Reilly McIlraith scored nine points. Clay Morgan, Lance Green, and Tucker Lowber scored eight each.

The Trailblazers (0-10) will be back in action on Saturday at Michael Smith Gymnasium to face Spokane, and they’ll round out crossover weekend on Sunday at home against Olympic.

The Centralia College women’s basketball team headed south for its crossover opener, and the Trailblazers fell to Peninsula 77-59.

Ella Baumgartner led CC with 19 points and six assists, while Marecia Barnett scored nine points. 

Jazmin Moctezuma scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds, while Meletava Fonohea, Kate Carpenter, and Kylee Lange scored six points each. Carpenter also tallied five rebounds and blocked three shots.

The Trailblazers are back in action on Saturday and Sunday in Vancouver, when they’ll face Spokane and Clark, respectively.
