PORT ANGELES — Now firmly planted as the first-place team in the Olympic League, the Port Angeles girls basketball team thoroughly dominated a weak Bremerton squad 56-9 at home.

That’s right, the Riders allowed just nine points all game. This coming two days after beating previously unbeaten in league Bainbridge on the road.

Bremerton took just 30 shots all game, making just four (13.3 percent).

“We played man-man and pressed most of the first quarter; our 2-3 zone that we played the rest of the game was just as effective in picking up steals and denying the Knights good scoring options,” said coach Michael Poindexter. “We platooned during most of the game, so all girls were able to get roughly equal time on the floor, something we’ve really been needing. The energy our players had on the floor and bench was outstanding.”

Teanna Clark had one of her best games of the year with 18 points, seven steals and five assists. Lindsay Smith likewise had a solid game with 14 points, six rebounds and four steals. Mikkhia Stevens had five steals and four assists. A total of nine Riders scored as everyone got to play a lot of minutes.
