Girls basketball: Hockinson 52, Tumwater 38

It wasn’t fun early to watch, but in the end, Hawks coach Damon Roche looks back on his team’s win and sees nothing but fun.

“It was a fun game to coach,” the coach said, “because the kids didn’t hang their heads.”

Especially not after a scoreless first quarter and trailing by as much as 16-0 before getting their first points in the second quarter.

After that, Hockinson cruised against a team Roche described as the most aggressive the Hawks have seen all season. Emma Dietel led a balanced scoring effort with 20 points.
