JOYCE — Ryan Moss scored his 1,000th career point and Neah Bay opened North Olympic League play with a 77-38 win over Crescent.

Moss and the Red Devils got everything out of the way early in Wednesday’s game.

The senior entered the contest eight points shy of 1,000 points and needed only three minutes to pass the benchmark.

Moss started with a 3-pointer and added two more baskets before scoring his 1,000th and 1,001 points with 5:02 remaining in the opening quarter.

Moss finished with 11 points in the quarter, and the Red Devils outscored the Loggers 28-15.

Along with Moss’ 3-pointer, Kenrick Doherty Jr. hit three treys in the quarter and Rwehabura Munyagi Jr. hit two.

“Wow. The Red Devils came out and made something like their first six or seven 3-pointers in the first quarter alone. They put up 28 in the first quarter and we didn’t play that poorly on defense,” first-year Crescent coach Chris Ferrier said.

“Neah Bay is really dang good. I was impressed with their ball movement, unselfishness and their overall approach to the game.”

Moss finished with a game-high 23 points on 9 of 13 shooting. He also had four assists and six steals.

He becomes the third member of his family to join Neah Bay’s 1,000-point club, joining his dad, Rob, and sister, Cierra, who is a sophomore for the Peninsula College women’s basketball team.

Munyagi finished with 22 points for the Red Devils, while Doherty had 15 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Reggie Buttram contributed 10 points and eight rebounds.

McCabe Story led the Loggers with 13 points, and Luke Leonard scored 10. Neil Peppard grabbed 12 rebounds and scored four points.

“We were playing a little shorthanded, but might have found some new roles for guys in new spots,” Ferrier said.

“We had some bright spots, but most notable was the fact that we went out and competed very hard for 32 minutes.

“Luke Leonard was his normal steady self. He did not come out of the game and handled the majority of the ballhandling duties after previously only playing off the ball.

“We shot our best percentage as a team in quite a while.”

Crescent (0-2, 0-10) next plays at Neah Bay next Wednesday.

The Red Devils (8-2) continue league play tonight at home against Clallam Bay.

KINGSTON — Foul trouble and a bad third quarter dropped the Roughriders to 3-3 in Olympic League 2A play.

Port Angeles jumped out to a 9-2 lead and controlled the first quarter of Wednesday’s game.

But then Lambros Rogers, Luke Angevine and Colton McGuffey got into foul trouble, and Kingston closed the gap.

Noah McGoff made five 3-pointers and scored 18 of his 19 points in the first half.

“He is a very good shooter and it was great to see him shoot it the way he did,” Port Angeles coach Kasey Ulin said.

After halftime, the Buccaneers got on a roll and outscored the Riders 17-3 in the third quarter.

“It was 29-29 at the half, and Kingston jumped on us in the third quarter,” Ulin said.

“We did not execute very well, and Kingston has a very good group of kids that played well in the second half.

“We allowed them to dictate the tempo of the game, and unfortunately we were never able to find our rhythm after early foul trouble.”

Janson Pederson finished with 10 points for the Riders.

Gabe Gregory led Kingston (3-2, 6-6) with 18 points.

Port Angeles, 7-7 overall, hosts Olympic (4-2, 8-6) tonight at 7 p.m. The Riders defeated the Trojans 56-53 in overtime last month.

“We are sitting at 3-3 in league and [have] the ability to control our own destiny,” Ulin said.

“We have Olympic coming to town . . . and we need to re-focus and play well because they will want revenge after we beat them at their place.”
