Trailing by as many as 15, the W.F. West boys basketball team nearly sprang the comeback, but fell to Battle Ground on the road in a non-league matchup against a 4A squad, 66-64 Monday night.
Soren Dalan led the frenetic come-from-behind attempt, scoring half of the Bearcats 64 points, with most of those buckets coming in the second half. The senior post dropped 32 points after scoring just six in the first two frames.
The only other Bearcat in double figures was Tyler Klatush, who scored 11 points. Eight total W.F. West players made a basket, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit in a loss.
The Bearcats take on Black Hills in a return to league play next on Friday in Tumwater.
