FORKS — Powered by 22 points, 20 rebounds and six blocked shots from Forks’ 6-foot-8 center Marky Adams, the Spartans earned a season sweep of Elma in a 51-41 win over the Eagles.
“This gives us four league wins, they have three, and we have two wins over them, which is huge,” Forks coach Rick Gooding said of Tuesday’s game.
“It makes our game with Tenino a huge game district-wise.”
The Spartans (4-6, 6-9) are currently fourth among Evergreen League 1A teams.
Against Elma, Forks gained the advantage in the second quarter when Eagles post Kolton Emerson got into foul trouble.
“He ended up sitting for quite a bit of the first half,” Gooding said.
“That’s when we made our run, our push in the second quarter, they couldn’t guard Marky without him.”
Adams was solid from the free-throw line for the Spartans.
“He had a huge game,” Gooding said.
“He had a ton from the free-throw line. He hit 12 of 18, including his last four in the fourth quarter, which were huge.”
Gooding said Jeffrey Shumack also hit two big freebies in the final quarter.
“After going 11 for 25 against Rochester [in a loss], we worked hard on them and wouldn’t you know free throws won us a game,” Gooding said.
Parker Browning added nine points, Schumack scored eight and Cort Prose had seven for Forks.
Gooding also said he liked how his team came together in the second half after losing Carlos Tejano and Cole Baysinger to injuries.
“Everybody stepped up and did a good job picking us up,” Gooding said.
The Spartans visit Aberdeen (8-1, 11-3) on Friday.

BELFAIR — The Roughriders rode a strong first quarter to an Olympic League 2A win against the Bulldogs.
“We jumped out to a 9-0 lead and were up 20-7 after one quarter,” Port Angeles coach Kasey Ulin said.
“We came out very focused, played defense and shot the ball well.
“Noah [McGoff] and Grayson [Peet] both had two 3s apiece in the first quarter.
“Luke [Angevine] attacked the hoop really well, and our ball movement was better than it’s been which led to open shots.”
Angevine led all scorers with 20 points for the Riders, his second-straight 20-point game.
“He built off a very solid game with Olympic,” Ulin said.
“I was very happy to see Luke attack the hoop. We are better when he is aggressive and confident and he is really starting to blossom.”
Lambros Rogers added 14 points for Port Angeles, while Peet scored 11 and McGoff added eight.
“Lambros was big all night, and controlled the middle, having 14 points, 20 rebounds and six assists,” Ulin said.
“We lost our defensive focus in the second and third quarters which allowed North Mason to stay in the game,” Ulin said.
“But we stuck together and continued to fight and we were able to come away with an important road victory.”
The Riders (4-4, 8-8) host North Kitsap (6-2, 12-4) on Tuesday.
