PORT ANGELES — Nizhoni Wheeler scored with a second left to lift the Roughriders to a 6-0 start to their Olympic League 2A slate.
Port Angeles took the ball out of bounds following a missed free throw by the Buccaneers with 12 seconds left in Wednesday’s game.
Nizhoni Wheeler received the ball in the high post and found Cheyenne Wheeler under the hoop, but her shot was blocked. Nizhoni Wheeler picked up the loose ball and scored the winning basket.
The Wheeler sisters played a big role in the Riders’ comeback after they fell behind 22-10 at halftime.
“Our second-half comeback was a team-wide effort, but it probably started with Cheyenne Wheeler’s offensive attacks along the baseline,” Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said.
Nizhoni Wheeler scored 12 of her game-high 14 points in the second half, including a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter. Katyn Flores added a pair of key 3-pointers in the fourth, and Emily Johnson scored two putbacks in the period.
Cheyenne Wheeler finished with 10 points, eight rebounds and three steals. Nizhoni Wheeler had six rebounds and three steals.
Johnson finished with five steals and five rebounds to go along with her four points.
Port Angeles, 12-1 overall and ranked 10th in Class 2A, continues league play tonight on the road against the revenge-minded Olympic Trojans (5-1, 9-4). The Riders handed Olympic its only league loss in a 37-22 win last month.

JOYCE — Cheyanna Svec came off the bench to lead the Red Devils with 16 points.
Svec scored 11 of her 16 points in the fourth quarter.
Jessica Greene added 14 points for Neah Bay, and Cei’J Gagnon added 11 and Gina McCaulley scored 10.
“Neah Bay is a well coached tremendous shooting team. They play very well together and move the ball around to get the open shot,” Crescent coach Chris Ferrier said.
Alyssa Hutto led the Loggers with five points, while Cari Bedford and Hannah Lee each scored four.
“We are starting to understand some of the nuances of the game of basketball,” Ferrier said. “We are still very inexperienced and trying to make up a lot of ground in that experience department.
“We were able to actually take a lot of shots, now it’s just a matter of making them. The girls hustled and covered for each other on defense.
“It’s positive growth, and I’m happy about that.”
The Loggers (0-2, 0-10) next play at Neah Bay on Wednesday.
The Red Devils (1-0, 6-4) host seventh-ranked Clallam Bay (1-0, 10-1) tonight.
