Cleveland and West Seattle squared off Friday night Jan. 27th for a metro league boys basketball matchup. This game began an hour later than the scheduled time due to a fire that broke out during the J.V. game; it pushed the girls game back as well.

From tip off the two teams seemed evenly matched, there were seven lead changes in the first half, but West Seattle pulled away to take the lead 26-22 before the end of the half.

West Seattle did a great job controlling the ball and limited their turnovers. They executed the fast break very well and were able to get plenty of points from points from layups.

Cleveland’s J’Shaun Cash was the high scorer finishing with 18 points for the game. Cash also knocked down four three pointers. Top scorers for West Seattle were Junior Guard’s Vidal Griffin and LaTrey Newsome who both scored 16 each.

Cleveland’s record now stands at 3-13 overall, and West Seattle sits at 8-9 overall.
