January 30th recap: Capital goes three overtimes, Timberline notches two wins, Oly keeps rolling
First of all, I apologize for not having a couple of these games on the “tonight” post this morning. Still trying to find a reliable source for a schedule. The makeup games are from the snowstorm have made things a little confusing.
Boy’s basketball
Olympia 75, South Kitsap 49
Capital 104, Foss 100 – 3OT
Timberline 61, Yelm 54
Capital and Foss played an epic game on Monday night. The third overtime finally settled it as the Cougars took home an 104-100 victory over Foss. Three players, Karl Peterson (26 points), Keenan Williams (25) and Jaren Eidenmuller (23) combined for 74 of their 104 points. Olympia moved to 9-1 in the 4A Narrows League and are still tied for first place with Bellarmine who beat Gig Harbor 57-48 tonight. And Timberline picked up it’s first conference win on the season.
Girl’s basketball
South Kitsap 64, Olympia 44
Timberline 59, Yelm 49
Foss 42, Capital 37
Timberline got 28 points from Sasha Weber in their 59=49 win in Yelm. The win moves Timberline to 6-1 in the 3A Narrows League one game behind Wilson who beat Lincoln 71-35 tonight. The Blazers play host to Lincoln on Wednesday before traveling to Wilson on Friday with first place possibly on the line.
January 27th recap: One North Thurston team seizes first place while the other falls
Boy’s basketball
Capital 75, Timberline 59
Olympia 56, Central Kitsap 34
River Ridge 67, Black Hills 58
North Thurston 86, Tumwater 69
Landon Rushton scored 38 points for North Thurston in their 86-69 victory over Tumwater. The win moves the Rams into sole possession of first place in the EvCo. The packed house in Lacey witnessed a wonderful performance by Rushton, a hard fought game by both teams and a symphony of whistles as over 45 fouls (I estimated closer to 50) were called on the two teams, and yet you could say that the referees showed tremendous restraint in a very rough and tumble kind of game.
Girl’s basketball
Northwest Christian 35, Ocosta 25
Central Kitsap 50, Olympia 42
Timberline 53, Capital 38
Tumwater 58, Centralia 34
W.F. West 59, North Thurston 42
However, down in Chehalis, the lady Rams couldn’t secure first place in the EvCo falling to W.F. West 59-42. W.F. West jumped out to a commanding 30-16 halftime lead and were never seriously threatened again.

Tonight (1/27): Rams. T-Birds. Let’s do this.
First place in the 2A EvCo is on the line tonight in Lacey when the North Thurston boys play host to Tumwater at 7:30 PM. Both teams come into the game at 5-2 in conference. The Rams are coming off a surprising loss to head coach Tim Brown’s dad Ron Brown and his Centralia Tigers while Tumwater has won three straight. Olysports.com will be on hand and will bring you updates and pictures on our Twitter account @OlySportsBlog.
In other action around town, River Ridge goes to Black Hills and will move into sole possession of second place if they can knock off the Wolves. Meanwhile, back in Lacey, Timberline hosts Capital.
And since I have a hungry one year-old yelling at me and crawling up my leg (I’m a professional!), here is the preview-free version of the girl’s basketball schedule…

Capital at Timberline

Boy’s basketball

It was a game of ups-and-downs in Olympia. The Bears took a 15 point lead at halftime but were outscored by Bellarmine 25-9 in the third quarter and found themselves down 44-43. But Olympia took the final period 13-9 to score the upset of the state’s #1 ranked team. Senior guard Trevor Houser led the way for Olympia with 17 points while Dominick Franks and Brendan Leonard each added 12 points.

According to Twitter, Highline blew out the Clippers though I can’t find a score anywhere. Highline 80, SPSCC 51.
P.S…I know that I’m missing some makeup games around town that were not listed on any schedules or calendars. The only one I found was the North Thurston/W.F. West boy’s basketball score.
Tonight: #1 Bellarmine comes to town
Big boy’s basketball game in the 4A Narrows League tonight when Olympia (10-3 overall, 6-1 Narrows) plays host to #1 ranked Bellarmine Prep (12-1 overall, 8-0 Narrows). on December 16th, the Bears nearly pulled off the upset losing 51-49 at Bellarmine. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM at Chick Rockey Gym.
In other boy’s basketball action, Timberline (5-8 overall, 0-4 Narrows) hosts Foss (10-2 overall, 2-1 Narrows) and Capital (5-5 overall, 2-1 Narrows) hosts #6 ranked Wilson (12-2 overall, 4-0 Narrows).
The South Puget Sound Clippers host Highline tonight. The doubleheader tips off at 6:00 with the women and continues at 8:00 with the men.
After forfeiting a good portion of their games last year when they couldn’t field a team, the Clippers women (3-11 overall, 0-5 NWAACC West) are again down to only seven players. Three players do most of the work for the Clippers as Alychia Colon, Monteaka Norwood and Aisha Jones all average just over 13 points per game.
The men’s team (5-10 overall, 1-4 NWAACC West) is lead by Black Hill’s Anye Turner and Georgia native Scotty Ewing, who are each scoring 15 points per game. They’ll have to stop Highline’s (4-12 overall, 3-4 NWAACC West) 6’10” freshman forward, Nikosi Ali (another Georgia native) and his 16.8 points per game.
