Colfax's girls have earned an opportunity to make history.
By fending off White Pass 53-46 in a Class 1A girls semifinal Friday
night in the SunDome, the Bulldogs get a chance to become the third team
in tournament history to win three consecutive championships when they
meet Bellevue Christian on Saturday for the title.
Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m.
White Pass will meet Zillah at 5 for third and sixth places.
Cle Elum (1981-83) and Lynden Christian (1990-92) were the other two
programs to win three successive titles. Colfax has won three of the
last four crowns, with Brewster intervening in 2003.
Meagan Teade scored 13 points and Jordan Harazin had 11 as the Bulldogs,
23-4 and ranked third, built a 14-point second-half lead.
But White Pass, 24-2 and ranked No. 1, staged with an 8-0 run to get
within 44-37 on Deanna Riffe's basket with 5:10 to play.
Kylie Shaw made a free throw for Colfax, after which Riffe hit twice
from the line for a 45-39 Bulldogs lead.
Harazins then drove the lane for left-handed banker at 3:31, and after
Riffe made another free throw, Shaw scored from the lane to put Colfax
ahead 49-40 with 2:40 left.
Kendra Redmon, 5-foot-3 senior and White Pass' top scorer with 14
points, then hit a long 3-pointer from the right wing to make it 49-43
at 2:26 before Lauren Mellor, a 6-0 junior, made two foul shots for the
Bulldogs with 2:16 remaining.
A
basket by Kristen Andrew and a free throw by Jaimye Ashley drew the
Panthers to within 51-46 with 1:22 left, but two Harazin free throws
closed the scoring in the final 30 seconds.
Breanna Moody, a 5-10 sophomore, had 11 points, six rebounds and four
steals for White Pass (24-2). But the Panthers shot only 26 percent from
the field to Colfax's 46 percent, although the Bulldogs committed 25
turnovers to White Pass's 19.
