The ‘Climbers started to pull away from the Bearcats in the second quarter, building a 10-point lead that the team from Chehalis cut to five at the half. The third quarter saw Shelton go up 11 and then lead by 14 in the fourth to secure a third EVCO win in a row and put the Highclimbers in the three-way tie with Aberdeen and W.F. West for third place in the standings. (To make the postseason, the ‘Climbers need to finish fourth or better in the Evergreen Conference.)
