The Rainier girls basketball team got all the points it would need in a red-hot first half Friday, blowing past Onalaska 69-34 in Central 2B League action.
The Mountaineers (6-0, 3-0 C2BL) led 21-10 after a quarter of play and then went on a 20-5 run in the second to enter halftime already up by 25 points.
“Rainier is a very well-rounded basketball team,” Onalaska coach Alana Olson said. “They shot the ball really well, and capitalized every time we made a mistake.”
Bryn Beckman did the most damage for Rainier, logging 21 points and three steals. Angelica Askey added 17 points and four assists, while Brooklynn Swenson scored 13 points and logged four helpers.
Anika Plowman and Haileigh Hanson both had eight rebounds to lead the Mountaineers on the glass.
Onalaska was led by Emalie Jacoby, who had 13 points, five rebounds and four steals, while Jaycee Kinsman finished with seven points and four boards.
The Loggers (3-3, 1-2 C2BL) are set to host Mossyrock for their second non-league matchup against the Vikings of the winter on Monday. Rainier will host Toledo for one last C2BL matchup of 2023 next Wednesday.
