Recently crowned boys basketball state champions Shaa Humphrey and Kobe McMillian of North Kitsap nearly orchestrated another improbable comeback Tuesday during the West Sound Senior High School All-Star Basketball Games gathering at Olympic College.

Humphrey finished with 26 points and McMillian added 21 points for Team Cascade, but a 24-point halftime deficit proved too much to overcome as Team Puget Sound held on for a 90-83 victory. 

“I was thinking we were going to come back like we did against Lynden,” McMillian said.

For McMillian, Humphrey and fellow North Kitsap seniors Logan Chmielewski and Kendall Miller, Tuesday’s game came three days after the Vikings captured the Class 2A state championship with a 56-53 win over Clarkston at the Yakima Valley SunDome. The Vikings’ tournament run included a semifinal victory over Lynden in which North Kitsap overcame a 14-point fourth quarter deficit. 

Led by South Kitsap’s Gavin Morkert (17 points), Kyler Kelso (16 points) and Central Kitsap’s Colby White (14 points), Team Puget Sound built a 47-23 halftime lead Tuesday. 

“They came out playing defense,” McMillian said. “We were letting them dunk and stuff, letting them show off. We came out in the second half and we’re like, ‘We’re in this game.'”

Prior to the game, Klahowya’s Matt Hytinen won the boys’ hot shot competition and Olympic’s Tyler Lindal won the 3-point contest.

In the girls’ game, North Kitsap’s Noey Barreith scored 11 points to lead Team Puget Sound to a 41-37 victory over Team Cascade. North Mason’s Natalie Mathews won the hot shot competition and Olympic’s Kaylani Riley won the 3-point contest.
