SLIDESHOW: Richland bombs Mount Rainier
By Gerardo Bolong
KENT - No. 4 state ranked 4A Richland located its sites early and regularly to bomb away Mount Rainier of Des Moines 95-62 in a boys basketball match up on Mon., Jan. 20, at the 2014 King Showcase presented by Ram Restaurant & Brewery and held at the ShoWare Center.
First quarter action was a clear and present warning of things to come with the Bomber defense exploiting the Ram ball handlers while also running rampant on offense en route to a 23-8 lead after one quarter.
This pattern repeated itself many times as Richland (15 - 0) overwhelmed its undermanned opponent to build a 37 point lead at one point before closing the curtain on the one-sided presentation that included 12-of-27 shooting from beyond the 3-point.
Jamil Wilson-Jones was a solid soldier for the 1-14 Rams, scoring a game-high 30 points along with a dozen rebounds. Andrew Lenaburg contributed 19 Mount Rainier points.
