Beavers Shut Down Wishkah Valley
TENINO — The Beavers opened the inaugural Hal Williams Christmas Classic with a 56-37 win over Wishkah Valley here Thursday in nonleague boys hoops action.
Devante Harris scored 12 points, and all eight Beavers that saw the floor scored at least 3.
"We looked a little shaky at first, but our goal's always to win the first quarter," Tenino coach Rod Enos said. "We did that, and were pretty balanced tonight."
Wishkah Valley, a 1B squad, came into the game with a 7-1 record with guard Brady Anderson averaging over 20 points a game. Dustin Hammond held Anderson to 12 points and just one field goal.
Ben Peterson scored 9, and Mac Shaw and Justin Conklin each scored 8.
The Beavers (6-3, 3-0 SWW 1A League Evergreen Division) will host Three Rivers Christian at 6 p.m. as the Christmas Classic concludes Friday.
Toepelt, Arrington Pace Trojans in Win Over South Bend
MENLO — The Trojans jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter and held off South Bend, 59-49, here Thursday in nonleague boys hoops action at Willapa Valley's Jack Q. Pearson Holiday Classic.
Devin Toepelt scored 21 points with nine rebounds, and Austin Arrington scored 18.
"Austin Arrington just came over having a bad flu. He got over it yesterday and felt good enough to play," Trojan coach Dana Cox said, "and had the best game of his high school career so far."
Arrington shot 6 of 9 from long range, and drew praise from Cox for his ability to move without the ball and find open shots.
Dustin Lusk scored 5 points with 11 rebounds for Pe Ell, which led 19-8 after a quarter.
"The kids kind of still struggled with turnovers," Cox said, "but the kids played hard."
Pe Ell will face host Willapa Valley at 7:30 Friday evening in the final game of the two-day event.
