PUYALLUP — Wakiyan Cuny’s floater in the lane with 2.5 seconds in overtime was the game-winning shot in Chief Leschi’s upset of Ilwaco Friday, Jan. 10. After Cuny’s shot, the Fishermen couldn’t connect on a desperate full-court in-bounds pass, and a Leschi free throw closed out the 67-64 win.

The Fishermen (8-3 overall, 7-3 in the Pacific League) led 47-36 through three quarters with help from a big game by Jaden Turner, who finished with 20 points while making six of his 11 three-point attempts.

Free throws were the biggest weapon for the Warriors (6-6, 4-6) during their comeback. Chief Leschi hit 15 of 21 free throw attempts in the final period. Ilwaco shot only two free throws in the period.

“It was kind of a weird game,” Ilwaco coach Tim Harrell said.

Harrell said Ilwaco came up short on several chances to win late in regulation.

“We had a lot of unforced turnovers,” he said.

Harrell thought the team didn’t get the ball to Parker Kaech enough down the stretch.

“We kind of lost track of who our [main] man is, and that’s Parker Kaech. He didn’t get the ball enough in the fourth quarter.”

Kaech finished with 14 points.

Daniel Whiting scored five of Ilwaco’s seven points in the overtime to finish the night with 10 points.

Ilwaco will host Naselle Thursday, Jan. 16 at 7 p.m., then visits South bend Saturday at 7 p.m. and heads to Lacey to face Northwest Christian Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m.
