WHS boys basketball beats Ridgefield Brevan Bea used a hot shooting hand to lead the Washougal High School (WHS) boys basketball team to a 65-53 win over Ridgefield High School on Jan. 6. The senior guard scored 22 points, including five 3-pointers. "Brevan is the type of guy who will air-ball a free throw and then make 3-pointers with guys in his face," Panthers coach A.J. LaBree said. "He really doesn't have a conscience. He's been through a lot of battles in sports in his life, so nothing really phases him." WHS' (6-3 overall, 2-0 2A Greater St. Helens League) defensive pressure and balanced scoring attack has been a challenge for opponents early in the season. "They are continuing to learn," LaBree said. "We have five seniors on this team, but not a ton of court time with them. It's a fairly young group out there, and they are still learning how to win and play in the big games." Panthers senior Jacob Davis had 17 points in the victory. Columbia River High School, last season's league champion, is also 2-0 in league play, and will play host to the Panthers on Thursday, Jan. 16.
