TOURNEYTOWN.COM
Adrian Moffet scored a tournament single-game record 34 points to lead
top-ranked Moses Lake Christian to a 70-54 semifinal win over Cusick on
Friday in the Class 1B boys state tournament.
The Lions (23-2) will face Tri-Cities Prep (20-6) in Saturday's 9 p.m.
championship game. Each will be seeking their first 1B title.
Moffet broke his own state record, orginally set last year against
Lummi. He's also nine points from the individual tournament scoring
record of 82, set by Liberty Christian's Mark Wilson last year.
Moffet made 13 of 19 shots, including 6 of 7 3-pointers, in a game that
didn't hold much suspense after the first quarter. MLC scored the game's
first seven points, and led 21-8 after the first period. Cusick never
got closer than 13 points in the second half.
Teammate Riggs Yarbro added 14 points and a game-high 13 rebounds, and
Isaac Murrell added 10 points.
Spencer Shanholtzer led the Panthers (20-6) with 20 points and Louie
Bluff had 10 rebounds.
