Seattle Lutheran 58, Cusick 36

Seattle Lutheran used a third-quarter surge to pull away and advance past Cusick Thursday in the 1B quarterfinals.

The Panthers started well, as a nifty behind-the-back pass in transition from Chad BrownEagle to Alec Bluff led to a layup and an early 10-4 lead.

But the Saints used some hot shooting to move in front. Josh Meyer drained a pair of 3-pointers, and SL led 26-24 at the half.

The Saints opened the third on a 14-0 run. Cusick went over five minutes without scoring and never recovered. Bluff was plagued by foul trouble throughout, and fouled out with 4:45 left, long after the game was decided.

Meyer hit three 3s to lead the Saints with 12 points and 10 rebounds. BrownEagle finished with 12 points, 11 boards and six assists for the Panthers.

Neah Bay 55, Pomeroy 47

John Reamer led Neah Bay’s balanced effort with 14 points, and the Red Devils overcame Pomeroy to reach the 1B semifinals.

NB began to open up a lead late in the first half, as a Ryan Moss 3-pointer began a 10-3 spurt that put the Red Devils up 31-22.

After a hot-shooting third period from both teams, Neah Bay used an 8-0 run at the start of the fourth to put the game out of reach. Kenrick Doherty Jr. sank a 3, and Jongi Claplanhoo banked in a 3-pointer and scored on a putback to make it 50-37.

Cole Mayfield and Tyson Feider did their best to keep the Pirates in the game with a combined 27 points, but Pomeroy shot just 31 percent from the field, while Neah Bay connected on 51 percent.
