Spurred by 21 points in the last frame, the Tumwater High School boys basketball team went on the road and beat Washington High 67-56 on Monday night to win back-to-back games away from home.
The trio of Julian Balsley, Ethan Bello and Landon Anchors – all juniors – combined for 52 points in the win. Balsley had the most with 20 while also grabbing eight rebounds. Luke Overbay stuffed the stat sheet with seven points, 15 boards, four assists and two blocks.
Tumwater (3-1) trailed by six after one, then whittled the deficit to two by halftime before holding Washington High to just eight points in the fourth. The Thunderbirds will have a week off before facing Adna next Monday in Lewis County.
