The first of many busy nights in girl's hoops

Tuesday night results;

4A GSHL
There is a clear separation between the haves and the have not's in the 4A. That separation became even clearer last night. Heritage, Kelso and Skyview now 2 - 0 in league, seem to have what it takes to fight for the league title and a birth to the state tournament. Mt View, Evergreen, and Battle Ground now 0 - 2 in league, will have to fight a little harder to reach the promise land.
Heritage jump out to an early lead and never looked back coasting to a 63 - 31 victory over Evergreen. Sophomore Justine Joudrey lead the T-wolves with 12 points.
Skyview toppled Battle Ground 82 - 56. Nikki Bond scored 23, Kailee Oliver had 17, and Shelby Mason added 10 for the Storm. The Tiger's leading scorers were Cassie Black with 16, Kiley Thomas had 13, and Gabi Dixon added 10.
Kelso defeated Mt. View 61 - 54 in the closes game of the 4A last night. Mt. View was down an injured Evie Everett, who would probably have made a difference. Caitlynn Jackson and Carly Perkins lead the Lassie's with 13 points each. Haley Holboke had 16 for the Thunder and Caitlynn Patterson had a double/double with 15 points and 12 rebounds in defeat.

3A GHSL
The "queens of the mountain" flex their collective muscles last night, coming out of the locker room feeling as if they had something to prove, and proved it. Prairie held "up and coming" Union scoreless through out the 1st quarter and half of the 2nd quarter running out to a 24 to (zero) lead before the Titan's knew what hit them. The Falcon's cruised to a 58 - 24 victory showing that they haven't miss a beat, changing leagues, or losing seniors. Kristen Munson had 17 points and Lauren Goecke scored 10 for Prairie.
A third quarter that saw Fort Vancouver score only 2 points sealed the way for Columbia River to defeat the Trapper's 43 - 29. Amiee Bolton and Laura Luther lead the scoring for the Chieftain's with 12 and 10 points respectively. Shamarica Scott had 19 for the Trapper's.
The Camas Papermaker's smothered the Hudson's Bay Eagle's in the 3rd quarter not giving up a single point, in route to their 55 - 38 victory. Haley Smith of Camas lead all scores with 12, Kelsey Frasier and Brittney Davis had 10 points each for the Eagles.

2A GSHL
Hockinson clearly appears to be the best team in the 2A through the preseason. They did nothing last night to dispel that theory, handling Mark Morris 63 - 24. Michelle Haagen lead all scores with 19 points, Daron Dean and Lejla Mlivic had 16 each and Amanda McCarty added 10 for the Hawk's.
The Ridgefield Spudder's took it to the Panther's of Washougal 69 - 27. Leading scores were Nichole Kates with 19 points, Lauren Landerholm had 18, and Anna Pengra scored 14 points for Ridgefield.
In somewhat of a shocker, R.A. Long defeated Woodland 54 - 38. Christina Driscoll scored 16 points and Katie Guigell added 14 for the Lumberjill's.

Trico 1A
LaCenter keeps rolling along, defeating White Salmon 57 - 25. Lauren Baker scored 21 points to lead the Wildcat's and Hannah Trigg added 12.

Next games this Friday.
