Alyssa Maine hit 3 of 3 from 3-point range and scored 14 points and MacKenzie Taylor added 12 points and 10 rebounds as Freeman (21-1) earned the District 7 1A tournament championship with a 37-30 victory over Lakeside (15-8) Friday at Mead High School.

The Scotties took a 12-point halftime lead, outscoring the Eagles 12-3 in the second period, and never looked back, earning the district’s No. 1 seed and a first round bye in the Bi-District tournament.

Leading the Eagles were Lexie Zappone and Jenna Widman, who scored nine and seven points, respectively.

Lakeside advances as the No. 2 seed to the tournament in Moses Lake on Tuesday and will play the winner of today’s game between Chelan and Cashmere.

Colville 41, Newport 38: Ashley Knight poured in 20 points to go with her 10 rebounds and the Indians (17-5) survived a 13-of-29 night from the free-throw line to edge the Grizzlies (15-8) at Mead. The Grizzlies were led by Miranda Frederick’s 12 points, while Tasha Luu added seven for the Indians.
