PORT ANGELES — Marshall Elliot, Easton Napiontek’s backup, ripped the nets for 24 points to spark the Port Angeles boys basketball team to the championship of its own tournament Thursday night.
Elliot, who was voted the tourney’s MVP, also grabbed 11 rebounds for a double-double as the Roughriders beat a powerful Anacortes team 61-56 and win the first Port Angeles Winter Classic.
“This was a coming-out party for Elliott, who was very aggressive and had a great effort on both sides of the court,” coach Wes Armstrong said.
The Riders improved to 9-1 overall.
“This was a big win for us,” Armstrong said.
“I was proud of how we played tonight. We played a very physical Anacortes team and we probably had our best complete game of the year.”
