Pope John Paul II vs. Firm Foundation – No report
With Brock Wade out with the flu, first place WF West struggled to score against River Ridge and behind 18 first half points from Brad Wallace, the Hawks took a 30-18 at the break.
After an even third quarter, River Ridge quickly built their lead to 16 points, 46-30, in the early stages of the fourth. The Bearcats then went on a 15-5 run cutting the River Ridge lead to six at the 4:51 mark before Hawks head coach John Barbee stopped the bleeding with a timeout. Within a minute and a half, River Ridge built their lead back to 13 points and never looked back closing the game with a 22-5 run that gave them a 73-50 win and moved their 2A EvCo league record to 4-3.
Brad Wallace finished with 29 points for the Hawks. The loss was the first conference defeat of the season for WF West. They still sit in first place at 6-1.

Busy night of sports on tap in the South Sound tonight with two college basketball doubleheaders, an arena soccer home opener and a couple high school basketball games.
The Tumwater Pioneers arena soccer team makes their home debut tonight when they take on the Marysville Ruckus at Tumwater Indoor Sports.

But the Pios play four straight games in Tumwater starting tonight and face a Ruckus squad that is just three points ahead of them in the standings with a record of 1-2.
Tumwater will have their two leading scorers, Chris Pugh and Kevin Flavin, and goalkeeper Matt Stalnik back in the lineup tonight against Marysville, who features the goalWA.net week one PASL Northwest Division player of the week Josh Rudnick.
First kick is scheduled for 7:00 PM. Tickets are just $5 for adults and $3 for children and seniors. There will be a beer garden for fans 21-and-over, concessions provided by a taco wagon and games and prizes for all-ages. Dress warmly and bring a blanket if you want.
