Monday scoreboard: Clippers swept; Wolves knock off Blazers
Men’s basketball
Green River 79, SPSCC 59 – Box score
South Puget Sound’s Jamey Smith scored 22 points and AJ Fuller added 16 but the Clippers hit just six field goals in the first half and couldn’t come back from a 12 point halftime deficit falling to Green River 79-59.
The Clippers rallied in the early minutes of the second half but Green River took advantage of an untimely technical foul called on Johlani Porchia and their lead was built back to 14. After that, it was all Green River as their lead quickly ballooned to over twenty points and the Gators never looked back.
Green River outrebounded SPSCC 46-20 led by Kendal Brown’s nine boards to go along with his game high 25 points. Kortney Darby added 21 in the win.
Women’s basketball
Green River 59, SPSCC 46 – Box score
Renee Willey scored 17 points and pulled down 11 rebounds but turnovers continued to plague the South Puget Sound women’s basketball team and Green River’s 28 points off of 31 Clipper turnovers proved to the difference in the Gators’ 59-46 win. McKenzie Raben collected 13 rebounds and had four assists for the Clippers in the loss.
Girl’s basketball
Black Hills 58, Timberline 53
A 16-9 third quarter erased a halftime deficit for Black Hills and the Wolves put their foot on the gas in the fourth scoring 18 points to hold on for a 58-53 non-league win over Timberline. Black Hills’ Hope Mortensen led all scorers with 15 points while Becky Clayton scored 14 for the Blazers.
Tonight (1/7): SPSCC doubleheader; Blazers host Wolves
The South Puget Sound Community College basketball teams play their first home doubleheader of the season when they host Green River tonight. The women start things off at 6:00 PM and the men will follow at 8:00 PM. The two teams have played just three games total at SPSCC this season and haven’t played in Olympia since a women’s game on December 8th.
The SPSCC women come into the game looking to get things turned around after a 115-18 loss on Wednesday night to Clark. In that game, the Clippers made just five field goals, turned the ball over 35 times and were out rebounded 41-18. But they have a chance to wipe that bad taste out of their mouth right away facing off with the 1-9 Green River Gators, who fell 91-34 to Centralia on Saturday night.
Meanwhile, the men come into the game at 3-7 overall and 0-1 in the NWAACC West region and face a Green River squad that is 9-4 overall and 1-1 in region. The Clippers dropped a 73-64 decision to Clark last week. Scott Ewing and Olympia’s Jamey Smith average 17.3 and 17.2 points per game but were held well under their average by the Penguins. Timberline’s Kole Podowicz stepped up and scored 25 points and is averaging 15 points in the four games that he has played this season. Green River is led by Kortney Darby’s 17 points and seven boards per game.
In the lone high school hoops action tonight, the Black Hills girls travel to Lacey to take on Timberline in a non-conference game. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Tonight (1/3): Saints continue GNAC play; Wolves get test from WF West
The Saint Martin’s women’s basketball team looks for their first conference win tonight when they play host to Montana State-Billings at Marcus Pavilion. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM.
The Saints are 7-5 overall this season but 0-2 in GNAC play after struggling on the road against two highly ranked teams in Simon Fraser and Western Washington in December. But the Saints are 5-0 at Marcus Pavilion this season and have played stout defense allowing just 58.8 points per game (3rd in the GNAC) and have 10.8 steals per game (4th in conference).
But the road doesn’t get any easier in the Yellowjackets. MSUB is 8-2 overall and 2-0 in the GNAC and are coming off of a 57-54 black line upset of Divison I Montana State and are led by the GNAC’s leading scorer, junior Bobbi Knudsen, who is putting up 18.6 points per game.

The Black Hills girl’s basketball team will get a tough test tonight when it faces off with W.F. West at Black Hills High School. The Wolves come into the game at 8-3 overall but 2-2 in the 2A EvCo while the Bearcats sit on top of the EvCo at 3-0 and are 7-3 overall and are ranked #6 in the state by The News-Tribune and #1 in state by the ScoreCzar computers.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM.

Smith, Fuller and Ewing combine for 47 points per game this season but were held to 29 by the Penguins. Kole Podowicz picked up the slack and scored 25 points but after taking a 32-31 lead into the locker room, SPSCC went cold in the second half shooting just 29.7% from the field and were outscored by Clark 42-32.

The Clippers turned the ball over 35 times and managed just forty shots compared to 73 shots taken by the Penguins. Clark shot a scorching 63% from the floor including a ridiculous 15-for-27 (56.1%) from the three point line.
