One more time for Lewis and Clark

STATE 4A BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

The Lewis and Clark Tigers got the one spurt they needed, nine quick points midway through the fourth quarter and they rode it to a 39-34 State 4A girls championship game win over U-Hi.

The Tigers’ Katelan Redmon carried LC on both ends, scoring 18 points and harassing Angie Bjorklund into her lowest scoring total of the year – six points.

Lewis and Clark continues the Greater Spokane League’s dominance of the past 20 years of 4A basketball in the state, posting the league’s 10th title in the past 20 years.

This year the GSL took 1, 2 and 4 in the state’s large-school division.

And think about this, with Lake City and Coeur d’Alene finishing 1-2 in the large schools in Idaho, the four best teams in two states are all within 20 miles of Spokane Valley’s downtown, wherever you decide that is.

When it comes to girls basketball in the Northwest, forget Oregon City. The Spokane area is where the stars shine the brightest.
