Corban 60, Evergreen 48

Sophomore Danielle Swain had 16 points and Sami Clark added 11 but it wasn’t quite enough to get the 8th seeded Evergreen Geoducks past the 10th ranked team in the nation, Corban College, in the first round of the Cascade Collegiate Conference playoffs. Swain, a Black Hills alum, did set single season team records for blocks and rebounds in the game. The Geoducks finish the season with an overall record of 7-21 but played better than their record indicates. They will return their entire team next season except for one senior, Mele Rich.

Girl’s basketball

River Ridge 56, North Thurston 54

North Thurston cut a 16 point deficit and tied the game at 52 but River Ridge scored the next four points and held on to win, 56-54 securing a berth into the state regionals for the ninth straight season. Next up for the Hawks is a Saturday afternoon meeting with Port Angeles At Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma. The Rams season comes to an end.

Boy’s basketball

North Thurston 62, Washougal 56

A good Washougal crowd that made W.F West High School in Chehalis feel like a home game wasn’t quite enough to push the Panthers over the top to beat North Thurston on Tuesday night. The Rams got 30 points (or more) from senior Ben Broeker and made their free throws at the end to move into the state regionals for the first time since 2007. The Rams will play White River on Friday night at Mt. Tahoma.

First, the girls take on Lacey rival and #1 seed out of the EvCo River Ridge for the third time this season. The Rams won the first game at River Ridge 45-42 and the Hawks took the second game 53-39. To get to this point in the 2A District IV playoffs, the Rams beat Woodland, lost to W.F. West and barely got by Tumwater. The Hawks beat Hockinson, lost to Mark Morris and beat Woodland to set up tonight’s game.

Following the girl’s game, the North Thurston boys take on Washougal for the second time in these playoffs. In the opening round the Rams held onto a 75-72 victory. They then were beaten by Mark Morris and ended Tumwater’s season to get to tonight’s game. Tip-off is set for 7:45 PM.

Curtis 37, Olympia 36

In a hard fought, defensive battle, Olympia came up just a little bit short in the 4A Bi-District title game on Monday night at the ShoWare Center in Kent.  The Bears came back from a 22-13 deficit at halftime but missed a three pointer that would have won it as time expired.  Alex Johnson led the way for the Bears with 17 points but 4A Narrows League MVP Dominick Franks was held to just seven points and no other Bear scored in double digits.  Darius Johnson-Wilson had 13 points for Curtis. Olympia moves on to play either Bothell or Lake Stevens in the 4A regionals at Auburn High School on Friday.

Girl’s basketball

Auburn Mountainview 44, Timberline 31
Emerald Ridge 54, Olympia 43

Sasha Weber had 13 points for Timberline but it wasn’t enough to take the third seed out of the 3A Bi-District. Instead the Blazers get the #4 seed and will play 19-4 Shorecrest at Juanita High School on Saturday at 6:00 PM. With their loss to Emerald Ridge, the Olympia girls get the #8 seed out of the 4A Bi-District and will have to travel to Spokane for a Saturday night game against either Gonzaga Prep or Chiawana.

In girl’s basketball action, Olympia plays Emerald Ridge at 4:00 PM at Stadium High School and Timberline plays Auburn Mountainview at 4:00 PM at Clover Park High School. Both the Bears and Blazers have already qualified for the state regionals regardless of what happens today.
