Today (1/22): Top Tacoma Talent Rolls into Lacey

Jan 22

Boys basketball
North Thurston vs. Lincoln – North Thurston HS – 7:00 PM
Timberline vs. Foss – Timberline HS – 7:00 PM

Some high caliber talent rolls into Lacey tonight when Lincoln and Foss take on North Thurston and Timberline respectively.

Lincoln (5-1 3A Narrows, 12-1 overall) is fresh off of their upset of #1 ranked and previously undefeated Jackson on Monday and feature an outstanding backcourt including freshman Londrell Hamilton. They could possibly have senior University of California-Berkeley signee Ahmaad Rorie back if he wins his appeal today after returning from Florida’s Montverde Academy on mysterious terms. Tip-off between the Abes and Rams is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Foss (4-2 3A Narrows, 11-3 overall) brings Seattle University commit Armond Davis to Timberline in a game that is a little less intriguing without University of Washington signee Donaven Dorsey. Timberline sits at 3-3 in the 3A Narrows, just a game behind the Falcons.

Timberline and North Thurston came into the game separated by just a half game in the 3A Narrows League standings but after the tip, it was obvious that they were light years apart.

The Blazers opened up a 16-3 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Behind hot shooting and relentless defense, they extended their lead to 32-7 with 3:12 left in the second quarter, continued to pour it on in the third quarter before finally putting it on cruise control en route to a 59-23 victory.

Callan Russell and Sara Bowen each scored 14 points in the win. Freshman Juliana Salanoa chipped in eight points and Linae Myhand added seven. Emma Baldwin led the way with five points for the Rams.

Timberline moved to 4-1 in the 3A Narrows League and are tied with Lincoln for second place, one game behind 5-0 Wilson. The Abes and Blazers meet at Timberline on Friday night.

The Rams fell to 3-3 in league and will host South Kitsap in non-league action on Friday.
