Friday night games; 1/9/09

It's league play, it counts now. Well I guess all the games count, but these games have a little more post season importance, they get you to districts and state. The 4A got started with all 6 Greater St. Helen's teams playing. The 3A & 2A will start league play next week. Ok so how did things shake out.

The best contest of the evening was Skyview Storming into the Thunder Dome, Mountian View High School and leaving with a 58 - 46 victory. A balance attack by the Storm lead by Tori Conley with 11 points and 3 other's with 9, prove to be to much for the Thunder lead by Caitlynn Patterson with 11 points. It was the 3rd quarter that rain down on Mt. View only scoring 6 points in the quarter.

You always wonder how a team is going to bounce back after an embarrassing lost, but Heritage seems to have weather the storm and came out ready to take it to Battle Ground Friday night. Coach Rogers express that it was the best 1st quarter his team has played all year, ending with a 21-5 lead. The T-wolves went on to a lopsided victory over the Tiger's 58 - 36. Clara Russell is really in a good flow now, going for her second game over 20 points, with 22 in this contest for Heritage. Sam Codi had 12 points for Battle Ground in defeat.

Kelso's Lassie's visited Evergreen last night and dismantled the Plainsmen 70 - 22. Evergreen is having trouble scoring only getting 3 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. They were lead by Amber Berry with 10 points in the lost, so the rest of the team had only had 12 points. Kelso's 6'1 junior superstar Carly Perkins had 15 points, and Madeline Zbaeren added 10.

In non-league actions at Fort Vancouver, Shamarica Scott broke out with 26 points to help the Trapper's defeat R.A. Long's Lumberjill's 46 - 36. Katie Gudgill stood toe to toe with Scott scoring 21 points of her own for R.A. Long, but it wasn't enough.

LaCenter still proving to be the class act of the 1A Trico league defeated Kalama 71 - 53. Hannah Trigg tossed in 20 points, Lauren Baker and Katrina Chamberline had 14 each for the Wildcat's, who are now 8 - 2.

Camas traveled up to Longview to play Mark Morris and got beat 55 - 44 by the Monarch's. The Papermaker's got solid play from Melissa Williams with 12 points, but Mark Morris prove to be to balance, Taybra Teeters had 12 points, & Christy Kirkpatrick added 10.
