GSHL 2A
The Panther's Roared in the 4th quarter last night scoring 23 points and coming from behind to defeat the Monarch's at home 44 - 41. After only scoring 2 points in the first quarter the Panther's played Mark Morris pretty much even for the next 2 quarters, down 12 going into the 4th, then "BAMM". Alicia McElroy was on fire dropping 27 points for Washougal, 17 in the 4th quarter. This was a great win for the team and it shows there headed in the right direction. Taybra Teeters lead the Monarch's with 11 points.

Hockinson on senior night handled R.A. Long pretty much the same way they've handled the league this year. Jump out early, defensive pressure, wear you down late. The Hawk's lead 27-16 at half, and won the game 48 - 30. Daron Dean lead the scoring with 14 points, and 13 rebounds. With one game left the Hawk's are closing in on an undefeated league season.

Non-league action
Both Prairie and Oregon City wanted a tune up game to prepare themselves for their state playoffs. Well they got it. Oregon City polished their well oiled fast break and ran, and ran, and ran last night defeating the Falcon's 56 - 34. Scrappy defense which is usually Prairie's calling card, was put on them last night by the great athletes of Oregon City. Honestly they are about 11 players deep, they sub player's in and never lose a step. The Falcon's down two starters, sophomore Angela Gelhar to a season-ending knee injury, and Heather Corral suffered an ankle injury on Sunday probably would have made a little difference, but Oregon City was clearly the better team. For the Falcon's to a man know they learned a lot about themselves, what they need to prepare for heading into the playoffs. Although no player reach double figure scoring for the Falcon's Lindsey Levenan was clearly the leader on the floor for Prairie. For the Pioneer's Ashley Reed scored 13, Taylor Ward added 12, and Calli Jackson had 11. We wish them good luck over in Oregon's state tournament, but I don't think they need much luck, they are talented.
