PORT ANGELES — A fast start buoyed by tough defense propelled the Port Angeles boys basketball team to its third straight win, a 67-40 blowout of Klahowya.
“It was 11-0 after 3 minutes,” Roughriders coach Kasey Ulin said of Friday’s game.
“We had a couple spurts where we lost our intensity, but overall the kids played hard and it was a good team win.”
Lambros Rogers led Port Angeles with a double-double, scoring 17 points with 13 rebounds and seven steals.
“Carson Shamp had 14 points and played well off bench,” Ulin said.
“Carson has the ability to give us 10-15 points on any given night off the bench and that is a great asset to have.”
Grayson Peet added 12 points for the Riders and Noah McGoff scored nine.
“Grayson and Noah played well, especially defensively,” Ulin said.
Port Angeles (2-0, 5-2) hosts Archbishop Murphy in a nonleague game Monday.

Tenino 49, Forks 45
FORKS — A day after a game with the run-and-gun Neah Bay Red Devils, the Spartans’ legs were lacking in an Evergreen League loss to the Beavers.
Tenino freshman Yngwie Dowies broke a late tie with a go-ahead 3-pointer to help the Beavers to the win on Friday.
He scored 19 points to lead all scorers.
Forks coach Rick Gooding said his team missed 15 shots inside the paint and only converted 52 percent from the free throw line.
“You can kinda see the difference in the game,” Gooding said.
“We had no legs. They sat in a 1-2-2 zone and made it hard to penetrate from up top. We had good success getting inside from the baseline but you have to hit your shots.”
Parker Browning led the Spartans with 16 points.
Forks post Marky Adams tweaked his ankle against Neah Bay and was limited, scoring nine points.
Cole Baysinger was a bright spot, scoring 14 for Forks.
“Cole came out and did some great things and it was good to see,” Gooding said.
“He really is that kid that can be the second or third scorer for us. He’s so stinkin’ athletic.”
The Spartans (2-2, 2-4) visit Eatonville on Monday.
