Pirates Blitz Riverhawks With Second Half Barrage

Posted

ADNA — The Adna boys basketball team picked up its third win of the week Friday at home, building up a double-digit lead at half before pulling away for a dominant 71-48 win over Toledo. 

The Pirates (12-3, 6-1 C2BL) got a game-high 18 points from Braeden Salme, 17 points and four 3-pointers from Chase Collins, and 13 from Eli Smith to round out three double figure scorers. 

With nine makes from behind the 3-point line and shot nearly 50% from the field in another strong win this week, and held Toledo to just 48 points, including just three from star guard Jake Cournyer. 

The Riverhawks (11-5, 2-4 C2BL) struggled to score for the second straight game, with two double figure scorers in Rogan Stanley (10 points) and Carson Olmstead (13 points), but nothing consistent enough to keep up with the high-powered Pirates. 

It’s Toledo’s second straight loss this week after a defeat at the hands of Rainier. The Riverhawks will look to bounce back against Eatonville on Monday, while Adna looks to keep the pressure up against Napavine on Wednesday.
