Girls basketball: Hockinson 59, Black Hills 51

The Hawks gave Black Hills a run for its money before falling short in the first round of the 2A district touranment at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey.

Hockinson coach Damon Roche said the different was the first quarter when Black Hills finished with an 18-12 lead. The Hawks trailed by as many as 15 points in the second quarter before making a run.

“We just got beat down the stretch,” Roche said. “My girls played them super tough. Obviously we would have liked to have won, but we left there giving (Black Hills) a challenge and earned a lot of respect.”

Payton Wangler became the first Hockinson player with 1,000 career points when she made a game-tying 3-pointer in the fourth quarter. She finished with 14 points in the game.
