Washington 7th, 8th grade boys getting lots of basketball time
Washington Grade School
boys’ basketball teams hosted
Warrenton Nov. 25, for four
heated games.
The eighth grade teams lost
both of their games to the more
experienced
Warrenton
Braves, 64-26 in the A game
and 32-25 in the B game.
“Warrenton’s coach has had
some of those boys since the
fourth grade,” said Head
Coach Matt Blair, “And they
play a full thirty-game season.”
In the A game, the Toppers
played a strong first half, com­
municating well on the court
and executing some good
plays. The second half brought
foul trouble and subsequent
substitutions cracked the team
focus. High scorer was Jon
Crowston, with 12 points.
Matt Fotheringham led scor­
ing in the B game, with 10 of
Vernonia’s 25 points.
WGS’ seventh graders won
the A game, 41-33.
“It was the best game I’ve
been associated with this
year," said Topper coach, Reid
Holcomb, “The team’s intensity
was excellent.”
Matt Kelly led with 14 points
and a great offensive showing.
Stellar performances were also
given by Josh Ward on
defense; Paul Orlando, who
scored eight points; and David
Koch, with seven.
In the B game, the crowd sat
on the edge of its seat as the
team fought through a tight
fourth quarter, eventually suf­
fering a loss, 23-21.
“I was happy with their
effort,” said Holcomb. High
scoring players were Brian
Easlon, with eight points and
Russell Gregg with six.
The Toppers traveled to
Forest Grove Nov. 24, and a
match-up
against
Neil
Armstrong Jr. High, winning
three of four games.
In the eighth grade A game
the boys played a good first
half, but really poured it on for
the second, outscoring Neil
Armstrong 42-13, for a final
score of 60-25. Crowston
showed his talent with 14
points and 12 rebounds; Bobby
Lokken had 14 points and 12
rebounds, while Topper point
guard Kyle Cota scored eight
with five assists.
“Fast breaks and offensive
rebounds for points helped us
the most,” said Blair.
The eighth graders captured
the win in the B game, 30-27.
“The team was very compet­
itive,” said Blair, “They got the
ball inside and executed the
offense better.”
