Top-ranked senior Tyran Stokes and Rainier Beach maintained their dominance in Washington high school basketball after pulling off a 94-67 masterpiece against Eastside Catholic. The state’s number one team extended its winning streak to 15 games despite the absence of JJ Crawford.

The Vikings pulled away with a 20-2 third-quarter run, turning a 46-38 deficit into a rout. Rainier Beach outscored the Crusaders in the second half, 56-23, to improve its record to 20-1. Stokes led the way with 35 points, including 12 in the pivotal third quarter and 19 converted free throws.

Knowledge Wright added 18 points, while Achilles Reyna and Micah Ili-Menesse finished in double figures. This victory also completes a regular-season sweep for the Vikings over the Crusaders after defeating them last month 85-74.

Tyran Stokes completed another impressive performance days after scoring 63 points in their 107-38 victory over West Seattle on Senior Night. He and the Vikings will play Roosevelt on February 7 to close their regular season. Then, it’s off to the playoffs, wherein they will have the opportunity to defend the Washington high school basketball Class 3A state championship.

As the 2025-26 Washington high school basketball season winds down to its final months, fans continue to anticipate Stokes’ decision for college basketball. While he was in attendance during the January 31 Kansas-BYU game, the No. 1 player from the Class of 2026 still hasn’t made his commitment. In addition to the Jayhawks, Louisville and Kentucky are also in the running for the five-star small forward.
