Monday scoreboard: Clippers swept; Wolves knock off Blazers
Men’s basketball
Green River 79, SPSCC 59 – Box score
South Puget Sound’s Jamey Smith scored 22 points and AJ Fuller added 16 but the Clippers hit just six field goals in the first half and couldn’t come back from a 12 point halftime deficit falling to Green River 79-59.
The Clippers rallied in the early minutes of the second half but Green River took advantage of an untimely technical foul called on Johlani Porchia and their lead was built back to 14. After that, it was all Green River as their lead quickly ballooned to over twenty points and the Gators never looked back.
Green River outrebounded SPSCC 46-20 led by Kendal Brown’s nine boards to go along with his game high 25 points. Kortney Darby added 21 in the win.

Green River 59, SPSCC 46 – Box score
Renee Willey scored 17 points and pulled down 11 rebounds but turnovers continued to plague the South Puget Sound women’s basketball team and Green River’s 28 points off of 31 Clipper turnovers proved to the difference in the Gators’ 59-46 win. McKenzie Raben collected 13 rebounds and had four assists for the Clippers in the loss.
Girl’s basketball
Black Hills 58, Timberline 53
A 16-9 third quarter erased a halftime deficit for Black Hills and the Wolves put their foot on the gas in the fourth scoring 18 points to hold on for a 58-53 non-league win over Timberline. Black Hills’ Hope Mortensen led all scorers with 15 points while Becky Clayton scored 14 for the Blazers.
Tonight (1/7): SPSCC doubleheader; Blazers host Wolves
The South Puget Sound Community College basketball teams play their first home doubleheader of the season when they host Green River tonight. The women start things off at 6:00 PM and the men will follow at 8:00 PM. The two teams have played just three games total at SPSCC this season and haven’t played in Olympia since a women’s game on December 8th.
The SPSCC women come into the game looking to get things turned around after a 115-18 loss on Wednesday night to Clark. In that game, the Clippers made just five field goals, turned the ball over 35 times and were out rebounded 41-18. But they have a chance to wipe that bad taste out of their mouth right away facing off with the 1-9 Green River Gators, who fell 91-34 to Centralia on Saturday night.
Meanwhile, the men come into the game at 3-7 overall and 0-1 in the NWAACC West region and face a Green River squad that is 9-4 overall and 1-1 in region. The Clippers dropped a 73-64 decision to Clark last week. Scott Ewing and Olympia’s Jamey Smith average 17.3 and 17.2 points per game but were held well under their average by the Penguins. Timberline’s Kole Podowicz stepped up and scored 25 points and is averaging 15 points in the four games that he has played this season. Green River is led by Kortney Darby’s 17 points and seven boards per game.
In the lone high school hoops action tonight, the Black Hills girls travel to Lacey to take on Timberline in a non-conference game. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
