Tigers claw their way back to semifinals
STATE 4A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
The Lewis and Clark Tigers are at it again.
Thursday they met one of the West Side's highly touted teams and turned up the pressure. It worked. The Roosevelt Rough Riders could ride out wave after wave of LC ball hawking.
Because of that, the Tigers are moving on into the semifinals against the winner of the game about to start, the Mead vs. Kentwood quarterfinal. The Conquerers, like Roosevelt was, are undefeated.
You can read how Lewis and Clark ended the Rough Riders' streak here.
As good as LC's defense has been, the Tigers need to value the basketball more and shoot better if they want to repeat as the State 4A titlists.
But if the defense can continue to play with the same intensity, the offense just may take care of itself.
