MONTESANO — Toutle Lake slapped a defensive vice on Raymond in the second and third quarters, and cruised to a 46-25 victory over the Seagulls in the quarterfinals of the Southwest 2B District girls basketball tournament on Thursday.

Toutle raced to an 8-2 lead, but the Gulls rallied for a 10-9 edge after the first quarter. From there, the Ducks “flew around and caused havoc,” said head coach Larry Hoff, and combined to outscore Raymond 30-8 in the middle two periods.

Toledo runs past Forks

TUMWATER — Toledo used a big second quarter to pull away from Forks 42-33 in the opening round of the Southwest 1A District girls basketball tournament Thursday night.

The Indians (16-4) had a five-point edge with 50 seconds left when Kelsey Stone buried a 3-pointer to put the Spartans away.

Tiffany Tornow led a balanced Toledo attack with nine points. Ashlee Coffey added eight points and five rebounds, and Stone dished four assists.

Rockets lose heartbreaker

TUMWATER — Castle Rock had three shots to tie the game in the final 14 seconds but could not convert and fell 53-51 to Rainier, Wash., here Thursday in the first round of the Southwest 1A District girls basketball tournament.

The Rockets (12-6) trailed by eight points with two minutes remaining but closed to within two thanks to some steals and fast-break baskets by Lacey Seidl.

“It was close the whole game,” CR coach Scott Spencer said. “We definitely had our chances. It was one of those games where you knew it would come down to the bitter end. The kids played very well and very hard.”

Castle Rock will face La Center or Onalaska at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at Mark Morris in a loser-out game.

Spuds take out Monarchs

RIDGEFIELD — Mark Morris trailed second-place Ridgefield by just two points at halftime, but came out cold in the third quarter and fell to the Spudders 66-50 in the Greater St. Helens 2A League girls basketball regular-season finale Thursday night.

A 10-of-28 performance at the free-throw line also didn’t help matters for the Monarchs, along with Ridgefield’s 48-percent shooting from the field — most of it coming from the perimeter after MM shut off the inside.

MM (8-11, 3-7 league) hosts the No. 5 team from the Evergreen Conference in the district pigtail game on Tuesday.

“I thought our entire bench came in and did a terrific job,” Monarchs coach Scott Ruhland said. “We were in serious foul trouble in the first half, and our bench kids helped us keep it at a two-point game going into halftime.”

Taybra Teeters led MM with 10 points and nine rebounds. Kelee Lambert added 10 points, and Kaytlin Ingman (seven rebounds) and Nicole Duscha (six) also played well.

Spudders 66, Monarchs 50

MARK MORRIS (50) — Brusewitz 2, Polis 7, DuBois 2, Lambert 10, Kirkpatrick 2, Kent 0, Ingman 5, Farmer 5, Duscha 6, Niemi 1, Teeters 10.
