Bear Creek 42, St. George’s 39

There were no late-game heroics this time for the Dragons. Riding high after sophomore Jordan Dickson’s 3-pointer won Thursday’s game against Life Christian Academy, St. George’s faltered from the field and was eliminated by the Grizzlies.

Jamie Meyer scored a game-high 17 points for Bear Creek, and the Grizzlies advance to face Wellpinit today to determine fifth and eighth place.

Dickson provided the scoring with 11 points to lead the Dragons (23-6), but did not receive much help from his teammates. St. George’s only managed to shoot 34.1 percent from the field and about 42 percent from the line. Henry Butler was held in check throughout the game and scored only nine points. He missed an opportunity to tie the game with less than 10 seconds remaining.

Leading by three, the Grizzlies were not able to close out the game with free throws. St. George’s hauled in a rebound and Butler brought the ball up the floor. He pulled up on the left side of the arc but had the ball stripped. The ball went out of bounds off Bear Creek, but time expired and St. George’s did not have an opportunity to get a shot off.

Bear Creek - M.Castle 2, Meyer 17, Blankenbeckler 0, Benson 2, Strandin 7, N.Castle 7, Rehfeld 2, Davisson 3, Richardson 2.

Junior Mike Parris blocked two shots for the Loggers in the final 10 seconds of overtime to help hold off the Braves.

Senior Jason Lindeman had a chance for a game-winning three for the Braves at the buzzer but the shot went wide right.

Lindeman hit a game-tying short jumper at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime.

Darrington held the lead for most of the game only trailing by one point twice in the second half.

Parris, coming off a night when he was the only Logger in double figures, got some offensive help from junior teammate Cory Hoveskeland, who scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half and overtime.

The Braves won the rebounding battle 33-25.
