Colton hammers Jaguars; Sparts, Tigercats win

Colton girls hammered Tri-Cities Prep 85-22 at Pasco to move their record to 7-0 Tuesday when Whitman clubs rolled into action after the holiday break. The Wildcats shut out the Jaguars 23-0 in the first quarters to set the tone.

Other action saw the Rosalia girls down Garfield/Palouse 36-23 at Garfield, and the LaCrosse/Washtucna Tigercats nip Pomeroy 28-26 at Washtucna.

The Tigercats hosted the Pirates after defeating Odessa 40-13 last Wednesday in the second round of the Dayton tournament. Gladys Martinez led the T-cats with 15 against the Tigers and Della Fleming hit 7.

Tuesday at Washtucna, the Tigercats took an 11-4 lead after the first quarter. They had a two-point lead in the final seconds of the game, and the Pirate girls failed to convert two late possessions into points to take the game into OT.

Ex Tigercat HayLee Koller led the Pirates with 7.

St. John-Endicott girls, who have been idle since before Christmas, will get back into league action against the Tigercats at Washtucna Friday night.

At Pasco Tuesday, the Wildcats’ Kelsey Moser socked 21 points against the Jags, and Haley Moser and Mollie Kramer each hit 19. Half-time score was 57-7.

The Wildcats play at Garfield Friday and then roll south to Touchet Saturday night.

At Garfield, the Spartans took the 36-23 win with a 16-37 shooting night from the floor. They held the Viking girls to just eight buckets from the floor.
