Before the win, the Highclimbers first lost to Yelm and Central Kitsap the week before. On Wednesday, Dec. 7, the Highclimbers lost to Yelm 53-42. "I thought we made some strides but it was a game I thought we could've played better," Mark Jensen, head coach, said. "It went down to the fourth quarter when their leading scorer went off on us. We'd done a good job holding him until the fourth when we lost track of him." Senior forward Jordan Harvell led the Climbers with 14 points while senior guard Austin Shirato put up 11 points and fresh- man forward Sean Gorman scored six. "It was probably a closer game than it ended up being because we ended up foul- ing late in the game," Jensen said. "We missed a couple and they made a couple." Jensen said the team• shot 12 of 20 from the freethrow line. On Friday, Dec. 9, the Highclimbers lost at home to Central Kitsap 69-47. "This was a little different story," Jensen said. "They came out in the second half very aggressively. They had a couple of players who ran up and down on us and we had a very poor third quarter. We shot two for 13 from the field while they shot very well." Junior guard Dakota Andrews led the Climbers with 13 points while Schirato, Gorman, senior forward Thomas Cook and sophomore guard Colton Hubble each scored six points. "We had lots of turnovers," Jensen said. "We had 21 or 22 of them against Central Kitsap and the loss was a com- bination of poor shooting and not taking care of the ball." The team turned it MONDAY: around on Monday, Dec. Shelton ........ 53 12, when they defeated Peninsula .... 51 Peninsula on the road 53- 51. TOMORROW: "Against Peninsula, Shelton vs. we only had 10 turnovers Gig Harbor, and we won," Jensen said. 7 p.m. "There might be a correla- tion there." Senior guard Curtis Wuestner led the Highclimbers with 12 points while Shirato scored 9 and senior guard Kasey Thompson and senior forward Patrick Fabrizio each put up six. "I think the team felt good about the win and they did some things better toward the end of the game than they have so far this season," Jensen said. "We shot the ball sub- stantionally better than in other games." Jensen said Peninsula was not as ag- gressive as other teams the Highclimbers have played so far. "They were not as big physically and we did a better job of taking care of things," he added. "We didn't get picked and we didn't throw unsmart passes." As of press time, the Highclimbers had not yet played at South Kitsap on Wednes- day, Dec. 14. The team is set to play next at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 16 at home against Gig Harbor. "Gig Harbor has a couple of 6'5" and 6'8" kids, so we'll have a tough time," Jensen said. "They're real physical, too." I Wreaths & Decorative Greens --- We Ship!
