FISHERMEN END SEASON WITH LOSS
The La Center Wildcats picked up their second win over Ilwaco in a week, defeating the Fishermen 66-50 at Aase Gymnasium Friday night.
Eric Gore led the Wildcats with 24 points and Kash Kelly, the Trico Division's leading scorer at over 23 points per game, added 17 for the Wildcats.
Anthony Wirkkala closed out his outstanding senior season with another double, scoring 14 points and pulling down ten rebounds. Junior Matt Kaino led Ilwaco with 19 points, coming up big in the third quarter, when Ilwaco rebounded from a bad start to outscore La Center 20-13 and cut the Wildcats big first half lead down to five points.
"He came out and fought and got us back in the game," said Ilwaco head coach Paul Jarrett, who finishd 4-8 in the Trico Division and 8-12 overall in his first campaign. "He had a huge offensive night and played some excellent defense."
Ilwaco graduates four other seniors in addition to Wirkkala, who should garner 1st-team all-Trico status after averaging 19 points and around ten rebounds per game this season.
Both teams will miss the district tournament this year. La Center finished in a 4th-place tie with Rochester, but lost both games to the Warriors, who nabbed the final Trico berth to districts with a 63-35 victory over White Salmon. In other Trico Division action, Castle Rock defeated Kalama, dropping the Chinooks to a #3 seed as the Rockets nabbed the divisions #2 seed. Stevenson had a bye Friday night after clinching the Trico championship and top seed with a 10-2 record.
