Girls semifinals
have star power

YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC


The more things change, the more they stay the same.
 
After a classification shakeup that blended many of last year's Class 2A schools back into the 1A fold, the familiar heavyweights are still standing.
 
The final four in today's 1A girls tournament will feature King's, Chelan, Colfax and Lynden Christian — a foursome that has amassed 16 state titles and has a collective record this season of 98-9.
 
In today's first semifinal at 4 p.m., King's (24-3) will take on Chelan (24-3) in a rematch of last year's 2A quarterfinals. King's won that game 51-40 en route to repeating its state crown.
 
Both teams had to battle Thursday as King's downed Brewster 55-46 and Chelan pulled away from Connell, 51-45.
 
King's used an 8-0 blitz that spanned 1:33 in the third quarter to open a gap on Brewster, and Chelan overcame Coriann Wood's 30-point outburst by finishing the game on a 7-0 run.
 
In Thursday's evening quarterfinals, things got a bit easier.
 
Colfax's bid to become the first girls 1A school to win four straight titles continued with a 67-39 victory over Naches Valley, and Lynden Christian turned back Toledo 57-40.
 
That sets up a 7:30 p.m. semifinal between two teams with 25 wins and 14-game win streaks. Lynden Christian (25-1), however, absorbed its only loss to a 2A opponent, Anacortes.
 
Obviously primed and ready, Colfax and Lynden Christian outscored their quarterfinal opponents 28-12 in the first quarter.
