Friday night results; 1/16/09

Two players in Southwest Washington score over 30 points in victory last night. Freshman sensation from Skyview Nikki Bond hit for 30 and Junior Lauren Baker from LaCenter had 33 points last night both in comfortable wins for their teams. Bombing it from long range paid benefits for them both.

LaCenter took on Stevenson last night in 1A Trico action. The Wildcat's built a 40-20 lead at the half and ran a way to a 80 - 49 victory. It's going to be hard for anyone to beat LaCenter in league this year. Let's hope they can stay focus when the state tournament comes around. Obviously Baker lead all scoring with 33, Hannah Trigg had 19, and Marissa Moore had 15 points. Stevenson's Kali Stump had 14 points.

2A GSHL
Woodland 38, Washougal 28 but the score doesn't reflect the battle. These girl's played hard, fortunately no one got hurt in this hard fought battle. Woodland couldn't afford it, down to 6 varsity players due to previous injuries. McKenzie Heberer wasn't going to allow the Beaver's to lose. Before fouling out, she grabbed 8 rebounds, had 6 block shots, and 3 assist to go with her 10 points. The Panther's pride themselves on defense as they took numerous offensive fouls placing several Woodland players in foul trouble. Alicia McElroy scored 13 to lead Washougal.

Hockinson Hawk's are soaring as they defeated Ridgefield 55 - 31. The Hawk's seem to have a good chemistry of players, outside shooters, strong inside presences, tough defenders, and a cleaver enough ball handler to take them far. They were lead tonight by Lejla Mlivic with 20 points, Amanda McCarty with 12 and Jennifer Pickup added 11. The Spudder's Shelby Williams had 10 points in defeat.

R.A. Long defeated Mark Morris 48 - 30 in the battle in Longview. A huge first half set the pace for the Lumberjill's up 31 - 5 at half time. Katie Gudgell lead R.A. Long with 11 points. Taybra Teeters had 12 and Kelee Lambert had 10 for the Monarch's.
