Davenport senior Jake Coffman turns inside against Northwest Christian. Davenport beat NWC 62-49
DAVENPORT – Some nights, the Gorillas look to have balanced scoring attacks. Other nights, they feed the hot shooting hand of Brenick Soliday. And other nights, they simply put the ball in the hands of their best player, Tennessee Rainwater, and ask him to go score points.
The latter was true against Northwest Christian, as Rainwater scored 32 of Davenport's 62 points in a 62-49 win Friday, Dec. 17.
Davenport took control early, as Rainwater knocked down a three-pointer and got to the rim for scores several times. The Gorillas led 17-8 after a quarter.
NWC trimmed the deficit to 33-27 at halftime, but Davenport had built a 51-40 lead after three quarters before outscoring the Crusaders by two points in the fourth quarter.
Soliday was the next-highest scorer for Davenport with 10 points. Jake Coffman added eight points for the Gorilas.
Avi West led the Crusaders with 20 points.
Davenport improved to 6-1 with the win and have rattled off four victories in a row. The Gorillas will look to continue their winning ways at the West Valley Christmas Tournament against Riverside Tuesday, Dec. 28 at 9 a.m.
