Pe Ell 52, Davenport 45

Hank Robinson hit the go-ahead basket on a nifty up-and-under move with 5:15 left in the fourth as the Trojans hung on to derail the Gorillas’ hopes of returning to the championship game for the second straight season.

After trailing since the 2:17 mark of the second quarter, Joey Gunning gave life to Davenport’s comeback hopes when he drilled a 3-pointer from 25 feet out as time ran out in the third quarter.

But Robinson’s layup and a Tyler Ratkie basket and foul on the next Trojans possession gave Pe Ell all the margin it would need, holding the Gorillas to four points in the fourth quarter.

Brandon Willey narrowly missed a shot to send the game into overtime as the Braves’ comeback bid fell just short against the Patriots in the semifinals.

Willey had 19 points to lead La Conner. The Braves shot just 4 of 23 from 3-point land. Cody Brockman scored 25 and grabbed 13 rebounds for Liberty Christian.

The Patriots were up by as many as seven inside the final minute, but triples from Erik Lindeman and Willey, coupled with two free throws from Willey, kept it close until the last possession with 4.5 seconds to play.
