Mt. Tahoma girls win
Carrie Ojeda of Mount Tahoma was just too much for the Stadium Tigers girls. The Thunderbirds finished the first quarter on an 11-0 run and pulled away during their 94-38 Narrows League win at Stadium on Dec. 5.
Stadium cut the Mount Tahoma lead to 12-11 following a Megan Lockert three-pointer, but the Thunderbirds (3-0 overall, 1-0 Narrows League) took advantage of Ojeda down low to extend the lead to 58-17 at halftime. Ojeda scored 16 of her game-high 31 points in the second quarter.
“We tried to double team her every time she got the ball,” said Stadium coach Steve Jacobson. “She was still able to find a way to score.”
Keana Magalei converted on four three-pointers on her way to a 16-point night, while Leana Magalei added two treys and 15 points to lead Mount Tahoma.
Stadium (0-3, 0-1) was led by the nine points of sophomore Nikki Roberts off the bench. Emily Zimmerman paced the Tigers with seven rebounds.
“Nikki did a great job of shooting the basketball tonight,” Jacobson said. “It was nice to have our team attacking and putting some pressure on the other team to defend us.”
