Playoff Action
Last night was my first look at Columbia River Chieftain's and I left impressed as they defeated Camas soundly 52 - 37 in the 3A district playoff game. Junior Brittany Landon was impressive with aggressive play, scoring 15 points and quarterbacking the team. But honestly, at least for last night's game, the whole team contributed, each in key areas and at key times. Taylor Parker 4, Laura Luther 5, Sarah Bobbe 4, Aimee Bolton 5, Brittany Heuett 6, Kassilin Cloyd 8, and Allie Holterman #12 scored 5 points, Congratulations to the Chieftain's now it's on to the championship game and the Prairie Falcon's tonight. For Camas, with Melissa Williams getting into early foul trouble, the Papermaker's never seem to get into their groove. Turning the ball over numerous times and missing some fairly easy shots early. Williams ended with 11 points. Next up for Camas is a Wednesday Bi-district game, good luck.

LaCenter never got themselves together after having point guard Lauren Baker get in foul trouble early, losing in their opening round 1A district playoff game to Onalaska 58 - 41. The Wildcat's will play Saturday night in a loser out game against familiar foe Castle Rock.

GSHL 2A
Final games in league play last night, and Hockinson ends with an "undefeated season" Congratulations girls. 10 an 0. Balance scoring last night as it has been all season, did the trick. Lejla Mlivic had 15 points, Daron Dean 12 points and 8 rebounds, and Amanda McCarty scored 12 also to lead the Hawk's past Woodland 68 - 36. Although the season is over for the Beaver's they have a young team and a bright future. Good luck to the Hawk's going into the playoffs.

Washougal has had problems all season getting off to slow starts. Well last night they got off to a quick start, and it might have surprise them, as they weren't able to maintain it in the 2nd quarter only scoring 4 points. But they played hard in defeat losing to R.A. Long 53 - 43. Junior Alicia McElroy scored 25 points in defeat. With a strong returning squad, next year should be a good one for the Panther's. The Lumberjill's move on into the playoff's in 3rd place. They were lead by Katie Gudgell with 17 points and Kelsey Craft with 12. They play next Friday. Good luck.

Ridgelfield capped a successful season with a victory over Mark Morris 66 - 50. The Spudder's are back to full strength now with Anna Pengra playing her best game since her injury scoring 16 points, Lauren Landerholm had 12, and Shelby Williams added 10. For the Monarch's they were lead by Taybra Teeters and Kelee Lambert with 10 points each. Now it's off to the playoff's starting next Friday. Good luck ladies.
