PALOUSE - The Garfield-Palouse boys' basketball team hasn't quite completed its first tour of the Southeast 1B League, but the Vikings seemed to establish themselves as the league frontrunner with a 21-point win over Pomeroy.

After a tight first quarter, Gar-Pal, which was ranked fifth in the most recent Washington Class 1B rankings, outscored second-ranked Pomeroy by 14 points in the second period to dispatch Pomeroy 67-46 on Saturday night.

"The kids relaxed and kind of blew it open," Vikings coach Tim Coles said of the second quarter. "We got a few turnovers and a few fast breaks, and the kids worked the ball well and took it to the bucket."

Gar-Pal's well-rounded performance included 18 points and eight rebounds from Tyler Thurman, 15 points, seven steals and four assists from Matt Holbrook and 10 points from Gabe Cocking.

Pomeroy (10-2, 5-1) got 14 points from Tyson Feider.
