La Conner’s Priscilla Ponce-Venegas tallied 12 points to lead the Braves, who fell to 0-3.

Friday Harbor, which opened the season with a 67-43 win Dec. 4 at South Whidbey, improved to 2-0. The team also avenged its only loss against a league opponent in last year’s run to Northwest 1A/2B League title by besting the Braves.

The outcome of the Dec. 8 game — a non-league contest between Northwest 1A/2B League foes — will not affect the league record of either team. The Wolverines and Braves will square off twice, once at home and once on the road, later in the season in league competition.

The Wolverines face Coupeville in their home opener, Saturday, at Turnbull Gym; tip off is noon.
