First place/second place

The Knights withstood the Red Devils’ furious rally in the second half and claimed their fifth title in the past seven years.

The Red Devils struggled with the Knights length, particularly 6-foot-7 forward Brian Broersma. Broersma had 11 blocks to go along with his 13 rebounds and 12 points.

Alex Brouwer added 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists for Sunnyside.

Midway through the third quarter, Neah Bay started using a full-court, pressure defense. The Red Devils were able to create several turnovers that fueled their comeback.

Abraham Venske scored 10 points and Josiah Greene added nine points and eight rebounds for Neah Bay.
