CR Season Ends With Double OT Loss

The Castle Rock Boys basketball team ended their season in the District IV 1A Tournament with a thrilling double overtime 71-69 loss to Hoquiam.

The Rockets held a 12-point advantage at halftime, but the Grizzlies picked up pace and the hot hand of Rocket guard Brock Johnson cooled off some in the second half.  The Rocket bench nearly saved the day after Mason Kilingberg fouled out early in the fourth quarter and then Brock Johnson sank two free throws to keep the Rocket hopes alive as time expired. Johnson totaled 36 points in the game.

An earlier 53-38 loss to Woodland landed the Rockets into the loser-out consolation game against Hoquiam. Castle Rock ended their season with a 9-8 record (tied for fifth in the Trico League) and a 10-12 overall record.

Castle Rock scoring vs Woodland: Ty Johnson 17, Brock Johnson 9, Mason Klingberg 9, Taite Klein 3.

Castle Rock scoring vs Hoquiam: Darrin Ayoub 1, Ty Johnson 13, Taite Kleine, Brock Johnson 36, Mason Klingberg 11, Kyle Koopman 2, Jason Porter, Jesse Althauser 3.

Dustee Alvord provided a spark with 12 points and a number of rebounds but the Cardinals could not dig all the way out of the hole during the fourth quarter despite out scoring the Pirates 11-8 in the final frame.
