PREP BOYS' BASKETBALL: Sehome uses third quarter to beat Bellingham
- THE BELLINGHAM HERALD
The Sehome boys' basketball team used a 30-point third quarter to take a commanding lead over Bellingham as the Mariners beat the Red Raiders 69-47 in a Northwest Conference matchup Thursday, Jan. 12, at Sehome High School.
Sehome (10-3, 6-0 NWC) held a one-point lead at the half, but Mariners' guard Drew Ronson scored 14 of his team-high 16 points in the third quarter as Sehome established a lead Bellingham (2-11, 1-5 NWC) couldn't come back against.
"(Bellingham) did a good job of handling our defensive pressure," Sehome coach A.J. LaBree said in a phone interview. "We really picked up our intensity and made some runs on them in the third. That (quarter) was the difference in the game."
Besides Ronson's 16 points, Konstantin Andrushenko scored 12, Noah Cyr-Moore scored 11, Evan Miksovsky scored 10 and Riley Fraser rounded out Sehome's double digit scorers, adding 10 points of his own in the win.
LaBree was thrilled with the performances of Miksovsky and Andrushenko.
"Evan had 10 points tonight, which is his career high," LaBree said. "He also did a great job of hustling. Konstantin had four 3s, so he gave us some steady shooting."
Marques Reynolds scored a team-high 12 points for Bellingham in the loss.
Bellingham travels to Burlington-Edison next at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16, while Sehome hosts Anacortes at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17.
