That's the most rebounds Weatherspoon has posted since back in January of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Ryan Avary, who went 5 of 9 en route to 12 points and six boards.

Sumner pushed their record up to 12-4 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 71.3 points per game. As for Rogers, with the loss, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 9-6.

Sumner will be playing in front of their home fans against Lake Stevens at 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. Sumner knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 12 matchups -- so hopefully Lake Stevens likes a good challenge. Rogers has already played their next game (against Silas), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
