The Mary M. Knight boys' basketball season ended
sooner than the team wanted last week.
On Friday, Feb. 24, the Knight Owls lost 51-42 to Mt.
Rainfer Lutheran at the Regional 1B Boys' Basketball
Tournament at Timberline High School in Lacey.
"The first half, we were feeling them out and trying
to get into our game," head coach Tim Diggle said. "The
guys were maybe a little overconfident."
The Knight Owls played close to Mt. Rainier Lutheran
in the first quarter, up 8-6 headed into the second. MMK
then pulled ahead in the second, outscoring Mt. Rainier
Lutheran 19-14 for a 27-20 lead going into halftime.
The second half of the game was a different story for
the Knight Owls.
In the third and fourth quarters, Mt. Rainier Luther-
an outscored MMK 15-7 and 16-8, respectively, to pull
ahead for the win.
"Their 1-3-1 defense fouled us luite a bit and we didn't
make the right adjustments," Diggle
said. "We kept throwing up the long
ball instead of going inside: We didn't
have patience."
Senior Sean Sexton led the team
with 13 points and 11 rebounds while
FRIDAY: senior Eric Johnson scored nine
M~Bain~~l points.
MaryM. Knight42 Junior Cory O'Neil put up six
points and grabbed four steals and
six rebounds while junior Kyle Willey
snatched eight rebounds and passed out six assists.
"The game went okay," Willey said. "We made too
many small mistakes that came around to bite us."
Willey said the team handled the pressure of being
in regionals against an unknown team well but that it
stopped rebounding and struggled in the second half.
After the game, Sexton was presented with the sports-
manship award for how he conducted himself during
games all season.
Diggle said the team had a great run this season.
"We did a lot of things people didn't think we were
capable of," he added. "They played hard."
Willey said he thinks the team will change some
things around for next season.
"We'll come back if I have anything to do with it," he
promised.
