Great night in girl's hoops

GSHL 4A
There is something about having been there before that prepares you when you go there again. Skyview has battled for the GSHL 4A title for the past few years, and although they've come up short, they have obviously learn how to handle themselves. Those lessons paid dividends last night. The seniors for the Storm were clutch in the victory over Heritage in the "fight for first" last night. After a tight 1st quarter when both teams were feeling their way around, senior Kailee Oliver step it up, dominating the second quarter of which Skyview won 20-9. Heritage bounce back in the 3rd quarter but senior Shelby Mason was clutch along with Oliver down the stretch to squash the T-Wolve's attempt at a comeback. Oliver ended the game with 21 points, Nikki Bond added 10 and Skyview is now the "GSHL 4A Championship" 59 - 48. Chawncy McClenan and Justine Joudrey had 11 points each for Heritage and Amber Myers tossed in 10. Here's hoping the young T-Wolve's can pick up on those same lessons as the Storm.

In what use to be the area's biggest rivalry game Mountain View vs Evergreen, the Plainsman's recent run of hard times has made this a one way game the Thunder's way. Last night was no different, 51 - 16. The Thunder were lead by seniors Caitlynn Patterson with 15 points and Evie Everett scoring 12.

Kelso traveled down to Battle Ground on a roll after defeating Skyview Monday and stayed on that roll going into the playoffs. Carly Perkins scored 22 points and dominated the game. Fellow junior Caitlynn Jackson had 17 points and when this "one / two punch" is working, watch out, the Lassie's are tough. To much for the Tiger's last night as they fell 72 - 50. Sam Codi had 17 for the Tiger's.

GSHL 3A
In the most exciting game of the evening Camas squeezed by Union 55 - 54 forcing a 3 way tie for second place and a tie breaker set for Saturday at 2pm at Fort Vancouver. The game didn't start well for Union but they fought back like champions just coming up one point short. Camas after getting off to a comfortable lead early and holding on to it through 3 quarters, got gun shy late and almost gave the game back. Melissa Williams was incredible in the first half scoring 14 of her game high 22 points, grabbing 7 of her 13 rebounds, making steals, blocking shots and by the way never coming out of the game. She had 2 key blocks in the final seconds to clinch the game for the Papermaker's. In the 4th quarter it was the senior Megan Dire and junior Janae Davis show. Fighting, scraping and literally carrying the Titan's on their back, making it close. I'm not sure, but I believe the two of them scored all the second half points for the Titan's. Dire ended with 23 and Davis with 21.

"The Victory Tour" concluded last night, Prairie stopping Columbia River 56 - 32. Michelle Bolliger scored 14, Heather Corral 12 and Christine Sonners 10 for the Falcon's who are now tuning up for their playoff run. Good luck. The Chieftain's will now play in the 3 way tie breaker with Union and Camas Saturday. River's top scorer was Kassilin Cloyd with 10 points.

Fort Vancouver vs Hudson's Bay renewed and old rivalry last night and it was an entertaining game. Kelsey Frasier scored 19 points and Ramona Vercher had 11 to lead the Eagle's past the Trapper's 45 - 42. With the departure of a talented senior class and this years best player Shamarica Scott falling to injury, after winning the league championship last season Fort didn't pick up a league victory this year. Erika Virgen-Vazquez scored 11 points to lead Fort.

GSHL 2A
Hockinson's dominance of the league continued last night as they defeated Washougal 55 - 18. Lejla Mlivic scored 15 and Daron Dean had 12. There's still one more week of league games for the GSHL 2A but the champion is already determined. Congratulations Hawk's. Alicia McElroy scored 12 for Washougal and has shown true grit all season.

R.A. Long couldn't peel Ridgefield who was back to full strength last night 52-49. The Spudder's line up was fully stuffed with Anna Pengra coming back scoring 6 points, Lauren Landerholm had 12, Shelby Williams added 12, and Nichole Kates scored 10. Katie Gudgell lead the Lumberjill's as she has all season with 14 points.

Woodland couldn't overcome hot outside shooting from Kylie Farmer of Mark Morris and lost 54 - 49. Farmer had 20 points hitting on 6 deep 3 pointers. Emily Smith had 13 points and McKenzie Heberer scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and six blocked shots for the Beaver's in defeat.

Trico 1A
LaCenter won the Trico League 1A Championship with a 54 - 33 victory over Castle Rock. Hannah Trigg scored 19, Katrina Chamberlain 12 and Marissa Moore 11 for the Wildcat's.
