PORT ANGELES — Kiah Jones and Maddy Hinrichs scored 12 points each to spark the Port Angeles girls basketball team in a 60-33 victory over Port Townsend in Olympic League action Monday night.
Irina Lyons netted a game-high 18 points for the Redskins, scoring most of her points on drives to the basket.
“They were able to drive and cut all night long,” Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said. “They shot only two 3-pointers in the game.”
Port Townsend (1-3 league, 2-3 overall) stayed close in the first half, trailing only 39-25 at halftime, but the Riders (3-1, 3-2) pulled away for good in the second half, outscoring the Redskins 30-8.
“We struggled a little in everything in the first half,” Poindexter said.
“We didn’t move our feet well and we fouled a lot.”
It was a sloppy game, especially in the first half. Both teams are 21 fouls each in the game and the Riders shot 30 free throws to the Redskins’ 27.
“We did much better in the second half,” Poindexter said.
“We settled for outside shots against their zone in the first half, but in the second half we began scoring inside off their zone.”
Ten players scored for Port Angeles in the game.
The Riders next play at Bremerton on Wednesday while the Redskins next host league favorite Kingston on Wednesday night.

BREMERTON — Corbin Webb and Jayson Brocklesby combined for 30 points but it wasn’t enough in the Olympic League game Monday night.
It was the first loss of the season for the Class 2A Wolves, who are now 3-1 in league and 5-1 overall.
The 3A Knights, meanwhile, are now 2-1 in league and 2-3 overall.
“We got off to a slow start and never recovered,” Sequim coach Greg Glasser said.
“We shot poorly from the perimeter and gave them too many second shots.”
The Wolves made just 3 of 21 shots from 3-point range.
Webb sank a team-high 18 points while Brocklesby scored 12.
Marshall Stevens led the Knights with 26 points while Deonti Dixon added 11.
The Wolves scored only four points in the first quarter and it was uphill from there.
Bremerton led 26-19 at the half but only 36-34 going into the final period.
But the Knights controlled the last quarter with a 26-16 advantage to roll to the win.
The Wolves next host Klahowya in league competition tonight.
