TUMWATER — Nearly everything, including the kitchen sink, was being thrown by the R.A. Long High School girls basketball team.

Held to just two points in the opening quarter, and coming away empty on too many possessions, doomed R.A. Long in a 54-32 setback to the hometown T-Birds in a Class 2A District IV pigtail game at Tumwater High School.
