SPORTS: Neah Bay boys and girls basketball sweeps Shoreline Christian; Clallam Bay boys lose a shootout with Taholah

SHORELINE — The Neah Bay girls basketball team is still looking for a team to challenge it after rolling over Shoreline Christian in nonleague action Saturday.

Cherish Moss and Cierra Moss combined for 31 points to spark the Red Devils to a commanding 74-27 victory against Shoreline.

Neah Bay (3-0 overall) has three lopsided wins in as many games this year.

The Red Devils return their five top scorers from a team that captured fourth in state last year.

Cierra Moss scored 17 points while Cherish Moss sank 14.

Rebecca Thompson added nine points in the game while freshmen Hailey Greene and Kaela Tyler scored eight points each for the Red Devils.

Neah Bay dominated each quarter, leading 15-6 after one, 37-14 at halftime and 59-24 going into the final period.

Defense clamps down

And to put the icing on the cake, the Red Devils allowed just three points to Shoreline while scoring 15 of their own in the fourth quarter.

Sarah Ott scored a team-high 13 points for Shoreline while Bella Heresh added 12.

Freshman 5-foot-10 forward Faye Chartraw grabbed nine rebounds while Thompson had seven assists and Cherish Moss earned five steals for Neah Bay.

The Red Devils next will host Crescent in nonleague competition tonight.

TAHOLAH — The Bruins scored 23 points in the fourth quarter but couldn’t make up a 57-39 hole going into the final stanza.

Both teams shot well in the nonleague shootout.

Clallam Bay now is 4-5 on the season.

Three players scored in double figures for the Bruins as Kevin Hess dropped 20 points in the net and had 12 rebounds while Ryan Willis had 18 points and 11 boards and Thomas Cheeka added 12 points.

The Bruins stayed with hot-shooting Taholah despite missing two starters who were on Christmas vacation.

“I thought we did a good job on and off the boards in the game,” Clallam Bay coach Cal Ritter said.

“We’re coming around.”

Clallam Bay next hosts Quilcene in nonleague play Tuesday night.
