ABERDEEN, Wash. — Tacoma fell to Grays Harbor 63-60 on Saturday in a closely contested matchup at Grays Harbor College. TCC's strong performance in the paint, scoring 36 points, was not enough to overcome GHC's nine three-pointers.
The game between the Tacoma Community College and Grays Harbor College started with Tacoma's Dylan Wiggins making an early impact by scoring multiple layups, assisted twice by Denali Hatcher, to push Tacoma to a 6-2 lead two minutes into the game. Grays Harbor responded with a 7-0 run, highlighted by a three-pointer from Baaroc Rivers, giving GHC a 9-6 advantage. TCC battled back to tie the game at 12 apiece with eleven mintues remaining after a jumper by Wiggins. In the closing moments of the first half, Creighton Pennock's layup brought TCC within one point at 32-31, but GHC retained their slim lead heading into the break.
Amare Brown scored early in the second half to give Tacoma a narrow 33-32 edge, but Grays Harbor quickly responded with a 3-pointer by Nicholas Sanders. Wiggins then tied the game at 35 with a layup and went on to contribute significantly with offensive rebounds and assists. TCC briefly regained the lead with back-to-back 3-pointers by Jakoi Lide, yet Grays Harbor maintained pressure, with Andrew Vindivich's late free throws and layup helping to secure a 63-60 victory. The home team capitalized on Tacoma's turnovers and used strategic timeouts to maintain their advantage.
