Waldport’s Jeff King scored 34 points to spoil Reedsport's season opener as the visiting Irish topped the Braves 60-52 on Tuesday.
King had seven 3-pointers to lead the Irish, who had no other scorers with more than seven points.
“We ran a zone and we ended up leaving him open and he got a lot of skip passes,” said Reedsport coach James Hixenbaugh.
The Braves switched to a man-to-man defense later in the game and put the clamps on King, but couldn’t overcome a 42-29 deficit entering the final quarter.
Ismael Osorio led Reedsport with 12 points and Sean Horton added 11.
“I thought our guys played hard,” Hixenbaugh said. “Everybody that I put in gave a lot of effort.”

Mapleton ran past Powers 55-35 in the Cruisers’ season opener Tuesday.
“Overall, I was pretty pleased with our half-court game,” said Powers coach Matt Shorb. “We gave up too many transition baskets. They’re a pretty athletic bunch we played tonight.”
Jake Stevens had 20 points for the Cruisers. Thomas Boggs had 14 and Chad Walker 12 for Mapleton.
