SEATTLE -- Jared
Robinson and Matt Borton combined for 41 points, and West Valley of
Yakima overcame a 12-0 hole at the start to stun Auburn 58-48 in the
first round of the Class 3A boys state tournament on Wednesday night.
It took only a quarter for the Rams (20-6) to erase the early deficit,
taking their first lead at 25-24 midway through the second quarter. But
it was early in the fourth quarter when West Valley finally took
control.
West Valley scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter, holding
Auburn (22-3) scoreless for the last minute of the third quarter and the
first 3½ minutes of the fourth. By the time Ryan Snowden scored with
3:30 left for Auburn, the deficit was too large for the Trojans to
overcome.
Borton scored 21 and Robinson had 20 for the Rams, who scored their last
10 points at the free throw line.
Jeff Gouveia led Auburn, one of the pre-tournament favorites, with 18
points. Teancum Stafford and Isaiah Johnson both added 10.
