MATLOCK — The Crescent boys basketball team got back on the winning track with a 72-58 win over Mary M. Knight on Monday.
The game was not as close as the final score as Mary M. Knight scored 27 points in the fourth quarter. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak.
“Nice to get a win. The guys made shots tonight, we got scoring from all of our rotation guys,” said coach Chris Ferrier.
“We got going about 4:00 into the game and played with good rhythm and connectivity for the rest of the first quarter as well as the second and third quarters,” Ferrier said. The Loggers got up 57-31 after three quarters.
Siblings Jax and Liam Sprague each had big games with Jax scoring 30 and Liam 22.
“Jax Sprague and Liam Sprague had the kind of games that make people pay attention, they both played great, but I was really happy with how Kolton Mason and Jessie Chartier played. They aren’t big scorers, but they do so many little things to help us have success,” Ferrier said.
The Loggers (2-8) begin league play at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at home against Clallam Bay.
“It’s been a rocky nonleague but I feel like my group of guys are ready to play the tough teams in our league,” Ferrier said.
