Quincy unable to contain Tarryn Hart, Wapato

QUINCY — Over-matched against a talented Wapato team, Quincy fought for the first few minutes.

After allowing an 8-2 run early, the Jacks drew within four points and trailed 10-6 when the Wolves called a timeout.

From that point it was all Wapato, led by Tarryn Hart, as the visiting team closed the opening quarter on a 14-1 run. Quincy would go on to lose its 15th straight game, 65-32.

Rachel Faw and Elizabeth Nielson led the Jacks with 10 points each. Faw provided a spark off the bench in the second quarter, scoring all eight of Quincy’s points in the period.

Hart, a 5-foot-8 point forward for the Wolves, controlled the action on both sides of the floor.

Moses Lake Christian Academy 58, Thorp-Easton 18

MOSES LAKE — Powered by the trio of Anna Yarbro, Dani Sandberg and Alex Toevs, Moses Lake Christian Academy routed visiting Thorp-Easton 58-18.

“They came out and they played hard,” head coach Josh Kast said. “There was a couple things we could’ve done better.”

Kast was glad some younger players were able to log significant minutes and contribute to the point total.

Yarbro led the way with 25 points. Sandberg and Toevs added 19 and eight points, respectively.

MLCA hosts Pateros Friday in what will likely determine the Central Washington 1B league champion.

“I’m sure both teams will be ready to play and it will be hard-fought,” Kast said.

Warden 59, White Swan 47

WARDEN — Warden rediscovered its offensive rhythm in a 59-47 win over White Swan.

It was the highest scoring game for the Cougars since a 60-point effort against Soap Lake on Jan. 5.

“It helped having Shania (Kisler) back tonight,” head coach Dan Caballero said. “All of our seniors did a heck of a job for us.”

Kisler returned from a foot injury to score 20 points. Allycia Gonzales and Bailey Whitney notched 15 and 11 points, respectively.

“Overall I thought we played real well,” Caballero said.

Warden finishes the regular season at Mabton.

The Lions led 44-4 at halftime.
