PORT TOWNSEND — Port Townsend notched its second straight win with a 53-38 rout of North Mason on Monday night.

But Port Townsend finally earned its first win on Saturday against Crosspoint Academy, and now is on a winning streak after Monday’s win.
“I’m really proud of them because they rebounded [from losses],” Redskins coach Tom Webster said of his team.
“They played excellent against Crosspoint, and then followed up with this game.
“Now we’re trying to build on these wins. The key to winning seasons is getting consecutive wins.”
Port Townsend (1-3, 2-3) put in an all-around effort to beat the Bulldogs.
The Redskins’ defense held North Mason to 21 points in the first three quarters, which built a 24-point lead going into the final period.
On offense, Cody Russel (13 points) and Skyler Coppenrath (12) combined for 25 points.
Russell also made three 3-pointers.
Point guard Will O’Brien added eight points and Paul Spaltenstein had six.
“This is the third game in a row that we shot the ball well,” Webster said.
Blowing out North Mason (1-3, 1-5) came as a bit of a surprise to Webster
“They’re pretty good, we just played really good,” he said.
The Redskins go for their third win in a row when they host Klahowya (1-2, 2-4) tonight.
