Janey Valerio’s 15 points led three Kennewick players in double figures as the Lions picked up their first Mid-Columbia Conference victory of the season, beating Southridge 53-48 on the road Saturday.
“They had a two-point lead with about 30 seconds left in the game, and they went down and made their free throws when they had them,” Southridge coach Scott Stiles said. “We couldn’t convert on our end.”
Kennewick finished 11-of-24 from the line, while Southridge was 5-of-12.
The Suns trailed 34-20 at halftime, but Southridge’s Shyler Sullivan scored 15 of her game-high 23 points in the second half.
“She was hitting shots, and that got us back in it,” Stiles said. “It was a hard-fought game right to the end.”
Taylor Osmundson and Panisesi Taimani each scored 10 points for the Lions.

Sunnyside 62, Davis 37: Jordan Rodriguez scored 22 points, and Monique Willingham had 13 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Grizzlies to a CBBN home victory over the Pirates.
The result was a big turnaround from their league opener last month, when Davis beat Sunnyside 78-67.
Sunnyside assistant Sean Sleater said Saturday’s game was the Grizzlies’ best defensive effort of the season. The Pirates shot 12-of-59 from the field.
“We didn’t give them any easy shots,” Sleater said. “They were having to work. We were cleaning the boards. Limiting them to one shot was the key.”
