Busy night of boys basketball in the Olympia area tonight. If you have to choose one game, I’d suggest heading to Timberline to watch four Division I recruits when the Blazers host #1 ranked Lincoln at 7:00 PM.
The Blazers are led by Donaven Dorsey, a junior with offers from Gonzaga, UW and Wazzu amongst others. Timberline is 8-5 overall and 3-3 in the 3A Narrows League.
Lincoln features Colorado bound senior Tre’Shaun Fletching, California committed Ahmaad Rorie, last year’s 2A player of the year at Clover Park, and junior Armond Davis not to mention Caden Rowland. The Abe’s are 12-1 this season and undefeated in the 3A Narrows.

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.
