It was a heart breaker for the Roughrider boys basketball team Saturday evening as they had the 5th ranked undefeated Renton Redhawks down by 16 points midway through the 3rd quarter. Then Renton started their comeback and knocked off the Roughriders 68-59. Renton outscored the Roughriders 27-7 in the final quarter after the Roughriders still had a 52-41 lead after 3 quarters. Roughrider 6’5″ forward Isaiah Shamp had the game of his life with 23 points out showing Renton’s heralded 6’7″ junior A.J. Simmons. Shamp had to leave the game with a ankle injury midway through the 4th quarter and with the Roughriders 6’7″ Forward Tyler Hunter out with 5 fouls the Roughriders had no heigth left inside.  Parker Nickerson was also spectacular for the Roughriders, hitting for 22 points.

If the Roughriders can beat Bainbridge tomorrow night that sets up a potential Olympic league championship game Thursday night at Roughrider Gymnasium with North Kitsap.

At halftime of the Roughrider – North Kitsap game, a game you will hear on KONP, our  VIP halftime show will feature a live interview with Zoey Van Gordon and Abby Robinson members of the Roughriders bowling team heading to the district tournament in Tacoma. We will ask Zoey if she is superstitious, will she be snaking on Peppered beef jerky and potato chips at the district meet. Inquiring minds want to know.
