TOURNEYTOWN.COM
Four straight points by Antonio Ledesma snapped a 31-31 tie early in the
fourth quarter and helped propel Tri-Cities Prep to a 43-35 semifinal
upset over No. 2-ranked Almira/Coulee-Hartline on Friday in the Class 1B
boys state tournament.
The win sends the Jaguars (20-6) into Saturday's 9 p.m. championship
game and assures them of their highest 1B finish. ACH (21-5) will play
for third at 5 p.m.
Ledesma sank two free throws with 6:56 to play that snapped the deadlock
and sparked a 12-4 run that closed the game. His four points and two
free throws by Ryan Mercado but the Jags up by six, and ACH never got
closer than four points the rest of the way.
Ledesma led T-C with 12 points, while Will Hoppes added 11 points and
Andrew LeBrun 10.
Sergio Lopez pulled down eight rebounds and Ledesma seven for the Jags.
Garrett Jess scored 14 points and Kyle Tucker chipped in 13 and pulled
down seven rebounds for the Warriors.
