This weekend saw a handful of high school hoops jamborees and the Capital/Olympia opener on Saturday, but today marks the start of the high school basketball season in earnest with five games on the docket here in town including a girls and boys doubleheader between Timberline and River Ridge starting at 6:00.
Girls basketball
Timberline @ River Ridge – River Ridge HS – 6:00 PM
Capital vs. Shelton – Capital HS – 7:00 PM
Olympia vs. WF West – Olympia HS – 7:00 PM
The River Ridge girls open their season with crosstown rival Timberline tonight. They return the core from their 5th place finish last season in Jazzlynn Brewster and Rebecca Stevenson and should contend again this year.
Olympia returns sophomore Jenna Randich and junior Sarah Snodgrass but they will have a tough test in their opener against WF West, the 2A second place finisher last season, who lost Jamika Parker to graduation but gained Washington State signee Nike McClure, who was relegated to their junior varsity squad last year after she transferred from Tenino.
Boys basketball
Black Hills vs. Klahowya – Black Hills HS – 7:00 PM
Timberline @ River Ridge – River Ridge HS – 8:00 PM
The Timberline boys game marks your first opportunity to take a look at University of Washington signee senior Donaven Dorsey and the Blazers as they look to improve on their 7th place finish at state last year. The Blazers have a senior led team with Dorsey, Tyler Gartner and Chase Ryan and it will be interesting to see the progress of junior point guard Brandell Evans, who had an excellent sophomore season.

With 4:14 left to play, Katie Anderson hit a three pointer to put Lewis & Clark up 71-68 over Evergreen at the CRC Gymnasium.

The Geoducks shot 52.4% from the field and had five players score in double digits including Kiemba Pearson’s 17 points off of the bench.

Saint Martin’s gave up just 30 points tonight, the least amount of points they have allowed since they jumped to NCAA Divison II, to waltz to a 68-30 win over Northwest University at Marcus Pavilion. The Eagles committed 32 personal fouls and the Saints made 24 of 37 free throws while Northwest shot just four free throws all evening.
The Saints hit eight three pointers, three each from Angela Gelhar and Jordyn Richardson, who scored 14 and 11 points respectively. Ciara Pedroni and Chelsea Haskey tallied 11 points each and Liz Mills added 10.
Northwest kept it close in the early going and led 10-9 with just eight minutes gone but were held scoreless over the next five minutes and the Saints went on a 27-5 run over a 12 minute span to close out the first half.
Just like Evergreen, Saint Martin’s has won three straight games and is 3-1 this season.

The T-Birds will likely travel to the Tri-Cities on Saturday next week to take on Prosser, who knocked off Mark Morris 45-22. The game is expected to be played at Lampson Stadium in Kennewick on Saturday afternoon.
