ROSEBURG, Ore. — Big nights from Davis graduate Jose Brown and former Zillah standout Clay Delp couldn’t quite propel Yakima Valley to an upset of No. 1 Green River Friday night.
The Yaks lost 84-77 despite 29 points and 10 rebounds for Brown to go along with 16 points and six assists for Delp. The two guards combined to shoot 8-of-11 from 3-point range, but their teammates struggled from beyond the arc, finishing 2-of-23.
YVC still managed to erase a 13-point deficit and even took a brief lead on West Valley grad Jaxson Goldsmith’s only 3-pointer of the game. But Green River took control again thanks to a 7-0 run and the Yaks couldn’t recover in their second straight loss.
