GIRLS PREP BASKETBALL: Forks gets past Crosspoint; PA game suspended due to water leak

FORKS — Playing without their big inside presence in Avery Dilley and coming off a lost Friday night against Toutle Lake, the Forks girls basketball team bounced back with a 59-47 win over Crosspoint on Saturday.

Fynlie Peters moved to the post position and scored 19 points.

“I think Fynlie had the best game of her high school career,” said coach David Hurn.

Bailey Johnson scored 17 and eighth-grader Brooklyn Rondeau scored 12.

Hurn said freshman Molly Hampton also had a good game with nine points.

“That team was third in 1B last year. We’ve faced a lot of adversity this year already,” Hurn said. “I challenged the girls to take advantage of their opportunity. Everyone played a role.”

Forks (2-3) next hosts two-time defending state champion Neah Bay (3-0) at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Port Angeles vs. Olympic, suspended

BREMERTON — The Port Angeles girls basketball team may get a victory from its game started with Olympic on Friday night, but it the players will have to wait to claim the “W”.

With Port Angeles ahead 32-23 with 3:35 left in the third quarter, the contest was suspended due to an air vent in the gymnasium leaking water onto the floor. The water on the floor made the surface unplayable, said coach Michael Poindexter.

“The likely plan will be to continue the game when Olympic visits Port Angeles on Jan. 24,” Poindexter said.
