TAHOLAH — Crescent’s Sara Moore tied for game-scoring honors with 17 points but it wasn’t enough for the Loggers in a nonleague girls basketball game Saturday night.
Taholah led by only 29-24 at the end of the third quarter but exploded in the fourth quarter with 19 points to win going away at 48-28.
The Loggers (0-3 overall) were ahead 8-4 at the end of one period and 15-14 at halftime but started falling behind for good in the third quarter.
“I think our girls, until the start of the fourth quarter, played some good, hard defense,” Crescent coach Nate Mandeville said.
“I’m really proud with the way they played.”
After getting down by 14 points in the final period, Mandeville put in his bench players to give them varsity experience.
Taholah kept the press up and ran away with the game, Mandeville said.
Moore led the Loggers with 17 points while Laura James scored 17 for Taholah.
Crescent next plays Wednesday at Clallam Bay.
