O'dea, Hale Shoot To Thrill -- Williams Nets 48 Points, Green 46 As Scoring Records Fall

TACOMA - In a frantic up-tempo pace conducive to Hale's style of play, four single-game tournament records were broken and one tied as No. 4 O'Dea topped the fifth-ranked Raiders 89-87 yesterday.

O'Dea (23-6) captured third place and Hale (22-9) sixth.

Irish forward Ryan Williams broke a 17-year-old record, scoring 48 points. He had 24 points at halftime and shot 14 for 21 from the field.

Almost as impressive, Raider guard Jevon Green rebounded from a dismal one-for-14 shooting performance in his previous outing to score 46 points, shooting 15 for 39 from the field.

The old standard of 44 points was set by Scott Taylor of Anacortes in 1977.

Idaho-bound Green, the state's scoring leader, sank nine three-pointers to break the old record of eight set by Gig Harbor's Paul Grobins last year.

His 22 attempts from behind the three-point line also broke Grobins' record of 17.

Williams sank 20 of 22 free-throw attempts to set a standard for most free throws made, eclipsing the old mark of 19 set by Bellingham's Jaret Traber last year.

Hale hit 11 of 25 three-point attempts to tie for the most three-pointers made.

"Both teams were just having fun, we didn't get serious until the end," Green said. "I think they got serious before we did."

"There was no pressure in this game, everyone was relaxed," Williams said. "I wanted to play well and go out in style."

Williams dominated under the basket. The 6-foot-6 Irish forward grabbed 20 rebounds.

The Raiders were undermanned when forward Kevin Clark missed the second half due to severe headaches and dizziness.

He was taken to St. Joseph Hospital in Tacoma. Clark had been suffering from flu-like symptoms all week and was questionable for the game.

Hale forward Tyrwone Still suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter.

The Irish held an 87-84 lead with 24 seconds left, before Green hit his record-breaking three-pointer to tie the game.

Williams sank two free throws with seven seconds left to put O'Dea ahead by two. Roderick Thompson then stole a Hale inbounds pass to seal the victory.
