Today (12/2): Preps Hoops Season Tips Off
Brandell Evans (5) and Donaven Dorsey (33)
This weekend saw a handful of high school hoops jamborees and the Capital/Olympia opener on Saturday, but today marks the start of the high school basketball season in earnest with five games on the docket here in town including a girls and boys doubleheader between Timberline and River Ridge starting at 6:00.
Girls basketball
Timberline @ River Ridge – River Ridge HS – 6:00 PM
Capital vs. Shelton – Capital HS – 7:00 PM
Olympia vs. WF West – Olympia HS – 7:00 PM
The River Ridge girls open their season with crosstown rival Timberline tonight. They return the core from their 5th place finish last season in Jazzlynn Brewster and Rebecca Stevenson and should contend again this year.
Olympia returns sophomore Jenna Randich and junior Sarah Snodgrass but they will have a tough test in their opener against WF West, the 2A second place finisher last season, who lost Jamika Parker to graduation but gained Washington State signee Nike McClure, who was relegated to their junior varsity squad last year after she transferred from Tenino.
Boys basketball
Black Hills vs. Klahowya – Black Hills HS – 7:00 PM
Timberline @ River Ridge – River Ridge HS – 8:00 PM
The Timberline boys game marks your first opportunity to take a look at University of Washington signee senior Donaven Dorsey and the Blazers as they look to improve on their 7th place finish at state last year. The Blazers have a senior led team with Dorsey, Tyler Gartner and Chase Ryan and it will be interesting to see the progress of junior point guard Brandell Evans, who had an excellent sophomore season.

Northwest 78, Saint Martin’s 76 – Recap
Well, this is a head scratcher. Less than a week after knocking off Northwest University by 38 points at Marcus Pavilion in a game that was never even remotely competitive, Saint Martin’s were stunned by the Eagles, 78-76, in the Lynda Goodrich Classic at Carver Gym in Bellingham.
Northwest opened up a 13-2 lead at the 15:20 mark of the first half and trailed by as many as 15 in the first half before Jordyn Richardson hit a 35-foot three pointer at the buzzer to get the Saints back within nine at the break.
The Saints rallied back in the second half and took a seven point lead on a Brooke Paulson layup with 6:05 remaining. But the Eagles answered back with a 9-2 run giving them a 67-66 lead at the 4:32 mark. Two lead changes and a tie later, Angela Gelhar hit two free throws with 20 seconds left to tie the game at 76-76. But Jordan Asher scored the go ahead bucket with 7.2 seconds remaining and Gelhar missed on a last second shot and Northwest held on to the shocking 78-76 victory.
Chelsea Haskey scored 20 points and Paulson added 17 for the Saints, who fell to 3-2 on the season and snapped a three game winning streak.
Sanda Milovic scored 23 for Northest.

Cal Maritime 79, Evergreen 75 – Recap
In a game that was as entertaining as their nicknames, Frankie Johnson’s three with 1:44 left to play gave the Evergreen Geoducks a 75-74 lead over the NAIA Division II 22nd-ranked Cal Maritime Keelhaulers. But Jaquai Wiley’s layup with 50 seconds left gave the Keelhaulers to lead for good and the Geoducks fell 79-75 at the CRC Gymnasium on Sunday afternoon.
Johnson led the way for Evergreen with 16 points and five assists. Kyle Calhoun and Cody Peters chipped in 13 and 12 points respectively. Casey Healy led Cal Maritime with 26 points and eight rebounds and Erik Hanson added 15 points including two free throws that iced the game after KJ Hong missed what would have been the go ahead three pointer with three second left for the Geoducks.
Evergreen falls to 1-4 this season while Cal Maritime improves to 7-1.

But the Geoducks finished the game on a 16-4 run to upset the NCAA Division III’s 17th-ranked team, 84-75. The Geoducks shot 52.4% from the field and had five players score in double digits including Kiemba Pearson’s 17 points off of the bench.
