Colton 40, Sunnyside Christian 35

The Colton Wildcats found themselves tested in their semifinal. But behind 12 points from Haley Moser and 10 from McKenzie Heaslet found themselves up to the task, beating the Sunnyside Christian Knights to advance to the state championship game.

The Wildcats started slowly, trailing 3-1 for the first 4 minutes of the opening quarter. But a quick 8-0 run by the Wildcats set them out in front 9-3 and they did not trail the rest of the way.

Colton led by as many as 11 in the second half, but the Knights rallied from down 38-27 to score eight straight and pull within three with 16 seconds remaining. They put Moser on the line to shoot free throws and the Colton junior responded by hitting both attempts to clinch the game with 8 seconds left.

Analisa Van Oostrum paced Sunnyside Christian with 10 points and five rebounds. Jenna Moser added eight points for the Wildcats.
