Mid-Columbia roundup for Dec. 11: Pasco girls fall to Moses Lake
Twenty- or 30-point nights are common for basketball-playing sisters Jessie and Jamie Loera of Moses Lake.
The Pasco Bulldogs held them in check Friday night, but the Chiefs still ran off with a 69-36 nonleague road win Friday night.
“They’re just so fast, it’s tough to keep them out of transition,” Pasco coach Aaron Barcot said.
Jessie Loera, who torched Chiawana on Tuesday with a school-record 37 points, finished with 16 against Pasco, while Jamie had 14.
“Julissa Perez and Lexi Montelongo did a great job of getting them under control,” Barcot said.
But the Bulldogs were outrebounded 49-30, with 25 of Moses Lake’s rebounds coming on the offensive glass. The Chiefs also jumped out to a 22-9 first-quarter lead and were up 37-18 at halftime.
Bella Gutierrez led Pasco with 10 points.
