GIRLS BASKETBALL
Quilcene 57, Muckleshoot 47
QUILCENE — The Rangers continued to roll, earning their six consecutive victory by defeating the Kings at home.
Quilcene (4-2, 9-6) is now tied for fourth in the SeaTac League with Rainier Christian (4-2, 7-7) and Mount Rainier Lutheran (4-2, 10-5).
“The win was huge as [we have] not been able to beat Muckleshoot in the past four years,” Rangers coach Briana Weller said of Friday’s game.
“The girls played as tough and as scrappy as I have seen. Once again, it was an intensely physical game with lots of contact and rough play. I am really proud that the younger girls didn’t get rattled, they amped up their game and were assertive.”
Megan Weller continues to shine, finishing with 29 points for Quilcene.
Allison Jones had another nice game as well, scoring 17 points, and tallying four rebounds, three steals and three assists.
“She was deadly on her dribble-drive and pull up jumpers,” Briana Weller said.
McKenzie Kieffer was the Rangers’ top rebounder with 15 boards.
“She got banged up in the paint all night and just kept scrapping and fighting,” Briana Weller said.
Abby Weller recorded a double-double, with 10 points and 10 rebounds. She also had six steals and three assist.
Sydney Brown had three more steals for Quilcene.
“Sydney Brown was also a vital part of the win with tough defensive play,” Briana Weller said.
Briana Weller points out that more and more Rangers, particularly the younger players, are finding their stride offensively.
“Our offense is starting to gain more confidence as the younger girls realize they can drive and shoot and contribute,” she said.
“We are finally getting other girls involved than just Megan Weller and Allison Jones on the offense. That is key for us, as if we can get three or four girls solidly contributing to our offense, then that makes it really difficult for our opponents to defend.”
The Rangers go on the road for more league action next week for a pair of tough matchups. They face Shorewood Christian (4-1, 6-6) on Tuesday and Seattle Lutheran (5-1, 10-5) on Friday.
