Trico 1A
LaCenter is attempting to re-establish itself after a tough week, which included illness and injury to key players last week. Bouncing back this week with two very nice wins defeating Kalama last night 78 - 42. Now the Wildcat's are soundly in second place and eagerly awaiting a rematch with first place Ilwaco with a full squad. There was some grumbling last night from the coach of Kalama, after the game complaining about LaCenter pressing with a 40 point lead. The rematch, next month, may get interesting. Hannah Trigg had 24 points last night, Lauren Baker 22, and Marissa Moore added 21.

GHSL 2A
Woodland's choke hold on 2A titles in this area (winning 11 out of the last 12) was all but snatch away last night by Hockinson. The Hawk's left no doubt who was the better team in the 2A this year, last night dominating the Beaver's with a swarming defense that lead to several easy buckets. I said it early, I'll say it again. Hockinson is the team to beat in the 2A, they are now 4-0 in league. Daron Dean had 18 and Lejla Mlivic scored 11 for the Hawk's, while the Beaver's were lead by Emily Smith with 11 points. Mary Kate Hughes suited up with the varsity, played, but didn't score for Woodland.

GSHL 3A
The special guest at the Prairie "Victory Tour" last night were the Union Titan's. After a slow start the band struck up hit after hit in the 2nd & 3rd quarters on their way to a lopsided 52 - 24 win. Lindsey Levenan was out standing with 17 points and 8 rebounds. Kristen Munson and Christine Sonners added 11 points each. "And the Band Plays on".

Camas and Hudson's Bay hook up last night with the Papermaker's rolling to a 57 - 41 victory. Haley Smith lead all scores with 13 points for Camas, and Brittany Davis scored 12 for the Eagle's.

Columbia River jumped all over Fort Vancouver in the first quarter leaping out to a 25-3 lead. River then cruised to a 63 - 43 victory over the Trapper's. Allie Holterman's 11 points and Laura Luther's 10 lead the Chieftain's. Liz Girtle scored 14 and Erika Virgen-Vazquez had 13 to pace Fort.

GSHL 4A
First place Skyview played like a first place team Storming in to the Thunder Dome and defeating Mountain View 56 - 38. Brooke Bowen and Kailee Oliver scored 13 apiece and Nikki Bond added 11 to lead the Storm. Evie Everett had 16 for the Thunder.

Heritage rebounded after a tough lost Monday to defeat Battle Ground 53 - 49. Although the Tiger's minus Gabi Dixson did make a late run to close the game to within 4 points. The T-wolves seem to be having a problem closing the deal. Remember they had a 16 point lead against Skyview just Monday only to lose the game in the last minute. Justine Joudrey lead all scores with 14 points and Clara Russell had 13 to lead the T-wolves, Sam Codi had 11 and Haley Grossman's 10 pace the Tiger's.

Kelso smacked Evergreen last night 72 - 27. Every player for the Lassie's scored last night, lead by Cassy Teig with 12 points, Caitlynn Jackson with 11 points & 6 assist and Makenzie Martin who scored 10. The Plainsman are having another tough season but looking better.
