Prep boys basketball: Jackson stuns front-running Mountlake Terrace

MILL CREEK — Somebody forgot to tell the Jackson boys that their season is supposed to be over.

Junior Ryan Todd scored 27 points; senior wing Trevor Bray scored seven of his 13 points in the fourth quarter, and Jackson came from behind to knock off the Wesco South’s top team, Mountlake Terrace, 70-64 Tuesday night at Henry M. Jackson High School.

“We talked about hanging around,” said Jackson head coach Steve Johnson, whose team trailed by five points entering the fourth quarter. “We think we have guys that can execute.”

Bray banked in a tough 4-footer over taller Mountlake Terrace defenders to put Jackson up 61-60 with less than two minutes remaining in the game, and Jackson (5-2, 7-3) made 15 of 16 free throws in the fourth quarter to steal the victory.

Mountlake Terrace fell to 7-1 in the Wesco South. Now Jackson, 5-2 in league despite missing standout star Brett Kingma who is out for the rest of the season with a broken arm, has to be considered as much of a threat as anyone else to win the league.

“We’re right there,” Todd said of his team which was also missing junior forward Mike Wishko on Tuesday due to an illness. “We may be down a few guys but we don’t care.”

“I think we’re going to be in the mix,” added Johnson. “…We’re up there. There are some really good teams in the league.”
