Black Hills vs. Aberdeen – Black Hills HS – 7:30 PM
The 2A Evergreen Conference kicks off the regular season tonight with a pair of games locally.
Tumwater sits at 0-2 on the season after falling to White River in their opener and Enumclaw on Friday night. They will have a full roster of players after the football team’s state final run when they travel to Capital to take on the 3-2 Cougars. Capital dropped their opener to Auburn-Riverside and lost to a good Olympia team but has since knocked off White River and trounced Peninsula. Keenan Williams leads the Cougs scoring 16.5 points per game in four reported games.
Black Hills hosts Aberdeen in their conference opener. The Wolves are 2-3 overall this season picking up wins over Klahowya and Chief Leschi. Jacob Burgess scored a career high 30 points against Chief Leschi. But the Wolves have struggled mightily in their losses. They have fallen to a struggling Shelton squad, 41-35, and were beaten soundly by Skyline (77-27) and Battle Ground (70-40). Aberdeen comes into the game at 1-4.
Girl’s basketball
River Ridge vs. WF West – River Ridge HS – 7:30 PM
The best player in the region comes to town tonight, luckily for River Ridge, she’ll do her damage in the JV game. Nike McClure, a junior who is already committed to Washington State, transferred from Tenino to WF West in the offseason but didn’t actually move so she was ruled ineligible to play varsity basketball this year. Unfortunately, that means we are deprived of seeing McClure face this talented Hawks team that is 3-0 overall this season.
