Pateros rolls over Easton; Devils stay home

PATEROS – Both the Billygoats and Nannies varsity basketball teams had an easy road trip against the Tigers at Easton last Thursday, Jan. 4. A Saturday home game against the Wilson Creek Devils was postponed.
The Nannies took a commanding eight-point lead in the first quarter and never surrendered the advantage as they cruised to a 57-24 win over league-rival Easton. Pateros led 32-12 at halftime with the second of three consecutive 16-point quarters and throttled back to a nine-point fourth quarter to win going away.
The Billygoats won by an even larger margin, 80-23 over the hapless Tigers. It was all over by the end of the first quarter as Pateros took a 17-point 24-7 lead into the second period and led 42-14 at halftime. The Tigers never broke out of single digits in any of the four quarters of play and remain 0-1 in league play.
A scheduled home game on Saturday, Jan. 6, with Wilson Creek was rescheduled after icy road conditions convinced the Devils to call off their trip north.
Pateros was scheduled to host Entiat on Tuesday, Jan. 9, and Cascade Christian Academy on Thursday, Jan. 11. Friday, Jan. 12 will find the Nannies and Billygoats on the road at Moses Lake Christian. They return home to host Soap Lake on Tuesday, Jan. 16. All game times start at 6 p.m. for the girls’ varsity and 7:30 p.m. for boys’ varsity.
