Ever. Lutheran 50, Quilcene 10
QUILCENE — The Rangers, shorthanded again because of illness, were handed another Sea-Tac League loss against Evergreen Lutheran on Saturday.
“We were outsized and outmatched in all positions on the court,” coach Ken Weller said.
In addition, starting guard Allison Jones missed yet another game due to illness.
“We struggled from the beginning,” Weller said.
“We couldn’t get our shots to fall, failed to execute our offense, had too many turnovers, and performed poorly in the rebounding department.
“I have to keep reminding myself that this team is very young and inexperienced.
“We have a long way to go but are improving week by week.”
The Rangers are now 3-5 on the season and 2-3 in league play.
