Page B-6 - Mason County Journal - Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016 By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ a/exandria@masoncoun com As a freshman, Brice Solis has been the spark the North Mason Bulldogs boys basketball team needed this year. He proved to be a valuable asset against Port Angeles when he was one of the few players to find the holes in the Roughriders staunch defense. "He works his butt off and he gets to the rim and fmishes things," North Ma- son coach Steven Hackett said. =It looks like he shouldn't, with all 115 pounds of him. He's just a competitor and does a great job, and has a great basketball IQ." But Solis alone couldn't help the Bulldogs as the Roughriders drained 3s left and right all night as Port Angeles beat North Mason 68-57. In December, the Roughriders beat the Bulldogs 66-47 in Port Angeles. They are known for their shooting, Hackett said, so the Bulldogs knew what to expect. It didn't matter that they knew what they would see, because from the get- go, Port Angeles found the net. The Roughriders started the game off on a 9-0 run -- their first shot of the game was a 3-pointer from junior Grayson Peet, which was quickly followed by a layup from senior Lambros Rogers. North Mason sophomore Trey Fisher broke the Bulldogs' dry spell when he scored a layup with 4:53 left in the first quarter. PoX Angeles ended the first quarter leading 20-9.

He slipped through multiple lis said about containing Port Angeles' defenders and drove to the hole to help shooters. "You just got to keep your the Bulldogs. In the second quarter, he head in the game and things will just come. They're weren't going to hit them all night." North Mason's luck didn't improve in the second half. In the opening six minutes of third quarter, Kevin Burrell- Briggs scored the team's only points. The Bulldogs outscored Port Angeles by one point in the third quarter. In the fourth, the Bulldogs couldn't overcome the Roughriders' sharp shoot- ers despite switching up their defense throughout the game. Even with senior Daulton Geyer dropping back-to-back 3s with 2:35 left on the clock, it was too late. "I thought we started slow, and if we wouldn't have started slow and slug- gish, maybe we could have fought with them the whole game," Burrell-Briggs said. "We could have battled back and maybe it would have been different." Burrell-Briggs and Solis led the Bull- dogs with 18 points a piece. Solis was perfect from the free-throw line, going 6-for-6. For the Roughriders, junior Luke An- gevine led his squad with 18 points. Se- nior Lambros Rogers added 12 points. "I thought both teams played really, really hard," Port Angeles coach Kasey Ulin said. "North Mason is a young team and they're well coached. This is always a tough place to play, and I thought our kids played fairly offensively." As of Monday, the Bulldogs are searching for their first league win.
