Colton 89, Sunnyside Chr. 70

Six-time defending champion Colton had a resounding response to the pressure it faced in the State 1B title game.

Led by Zoe Moser and Savannah Chadwick, the Wildcats won yet again, this time erasing a nine-point first-quarter deficit in a victory over the Sunnyside Christian Knights.

Moser poured in 35 points – one shy of the tournament record – and Chadwick added 23.

Things didn’t look that great early for the Wildcats. Sunnyside Christian’s Sailor Liefke blocked a shot and raced down court for a transition layin to put the Knights on top 15-6 with 2:40 left in the first quarter. But the Wildcats had an answer. Chadwick’s 3-pointer with 30 seconds left in the first cut the lead to five and Moser’s transition layin with 7:15 left in the second tied it at 20.

Ahead 42-32 at the half, Moser scored nine points in the first 3 minutes of the second half to give the Wildcats a 51-35 lead. From there, the Knights just couldn’t keep pace.

Colton extended its winning streak to 71.

Republic 75, Neah Bay 72 (2OT)

Shania Graham tallied 19 points, six rebounds and five assists as she helped Republic pull off a dramatic double-overtime win in the third-place game.

Graham hit a deep 3 with 10 seconds left in regulation to tie the game. She made another 3 in the first overtime, but two late free throws from Faye Chartwell tied the game, and Lily Beckwith’s wing 3-pointer bounced off at the buzzer.

Graham took over the second extra frame, as she stole the ball for a layup, sank another 3 and added two free throws with 14.2 seconds to go, and Neah Bay couldn’t force a third overtime, as they missed two 3-point tries in the waning moments.
