Tonight (2/13): Clippers host Raiders

13 Feb

The Sound Puget Sound Clippers host the Pierce College Raiders tonight with the women’s game tipping-off at 6:00 PM and the men’s game to follow.

The Lady Clippers are 4-16 overall and 1-10 in conference this season and have been much improved over their last four games including a 69-67 overtime win over Green River last week.  Sophomore Alychia Colon leads the Clippers with 14.77 points per game, River Ridge’s Monteaka Norwood is right behind her averaging 14.44 ppg and Black Hills‘ Aisha Jones also averages double digits at 12.35 ppg.  While it has been a rough season for the Clippers, it is still a far cry from last season when they had to forfeit nearly half their season because they just didn’t have enough bodies to field a team.  Pierce College won  the first meeting between the two teams, 86-36, behind 25 points from Unique Taufa’asau and Kawehi Hagi’s 23 points. The Raiders also feature two of Monteaka Norwood’s former River Ridge teammates, Natasha Trinidad and Janay Creamer.

The men have also been playing a lot better lately, winning three of their last five games and improving their record to 8-13 overall and 4-7 in conference. Freshman Anye Turner leads the NWAACC in rebounding pulling down 11.76 boards per game. The freshman from Black Hills is also scoring 13.27 points per game. The Clippers are led by freshman Scotty Ewing’s 15.91 ppg. Pierce is coached by former North Thurston girl’s and SPSCC men’s and women’s coach Bill Mendelson (also my driver’s ed teacher) and are led by Alaskan John Palmer’s 12.27 ppg and Tumwater’s Dan Devries 10.58 ppg. The Clippers won the first meeting 73-72 thanks to Anye Turner’s monster 26 point, 20 rebound effort.

Tonight (2/8): high school seeding on the line, Clippers host Green River

8 Feb

Seeding on the line in a couple of girl’s games tonight. Yelm and Timberline play with second place on the line in the 3A Narrows. The Blazers are 7-2 in conference and in second behind Wilson while the Tornados are 6-3 in conference and in third. Timberline won the first meeting on January 30th, 59-49 in Yelm.

Across town in Tumwater, Black Hills takes on W.F. West with the fourth seed in the EvCo on the line for the Wolves. Conversely, on the line for the Bearcats is the #1 seed.  The two teams met on December 15th and W.F. West won easily, 62-48.

Here is the full girl’s schedule in Olympia tonight….

Foss at Capital – 7:00 PM
Shelton at Olympia – 7:00 PM
Yelm at Timberline – 7:00 PM
W.F. West at Black Hills – 7:00 PM

Only one game in town on the boy’s side. Tumwater hosts Centralia at 7:30 PM. Tumwater can get the fourth seed out of the EvCo with a win and a Black Hills loss in Chehalis. The T-Birds beat the Tigers by 25 on December 16th.

There are a couple of important out-of-town games to keep an eye on for the boy’s: Northwest Christian takes on Napavine at 6:30 PM in Montesano in the first round of the 2B District IV tournament, Capital plays Foss in Tacoma in a winner makes the playoffs, loser goes home game, and Olympia goes to winless Shelton with first place in the 4A Narrows on the line.

In college basketball action, the SPSCC men and women host Green River with the women’s game tipping at 6:00 PM and the men at 8:00 PM.  The Lady Clippers are still looking for their first win in the NWAACC West and could easily get one against the 4-14 Gators who only won their first meeting by four, 54-50 in Auburn in early January.  The men, meanwhile, could jump up to fifth place in the NWAACC West with a win. They also lost a close game to the Gators earlier this season, 85-82.
