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.
