Bellingham Slam 130, Olympia Reign 101

After playing just three minutes last night, former Saint Martin’s forward Jeremy Green scored 28 points and pulled down 12 rebounds to lead the Bellingham Slam to a 130-101 trouncing of the Olympia Reign. Nicholas Moore led the Reign with 17 points and 11 boards and Giovanne Woods added 16 points and four assists.

Bellingham was in control nearly the entire game for the second time this season. Ike Ohanson’s field goal with 5:59 remaining in the first quarter gave the Reign the lead at 14-13. Paul Hafford answered back thirty second later to make it 15-14 and the Slam never trailed again. A Marcus Whitaker three pointer with 3:32 left in the first half cut the Slam lead to six but an 11-4 run to close the half gave the Slam a 58-45 lead.

The Reign cut into the lead to start the second half knocking it down to five at 58-53 at the 9:43 mark of the third quarter, but the Slam then went on a 44-19 run to finish the quarter up by 30 at 102-72 and never looked back.

Six Reign players scored in double digits – Woods, Moore, Mike Ward, Nate Menafee, Whitaker and Ohanson – but nobody scored more than 16. Meanwhile, Bellingham had five double digit scorers including Green, Hafford’s 25 and 19 each from Zach Henifin and Morris Anderson.

Former Saint Martin’s star Blake Poole scored just two points for the Slam and played less than two minutes in the second half.
