TOURNEYTOWN.COM
Joe Harris scored a
game-high 27 points and set the Class 1A boys scoring record as the
Goats edged Nooksack Valley 62-60 on Saturday for fifth place in the
state tournament.
Harris finished with a
career 2,398 points, breaking the previous mark of 2,382 by Ryan Hansen
of Cascade (Leavenworth) set in the mid-90s. Harris set the mark late in
the first quarter, when the Goats jumped to a 14-point lead. (Watch
the record-breaking shot.)
But the Pioneers
slowly rallied back, taking brief leads in the fourth quarter before
Michael Amsel Jr.'s two free throws with 4.4 seconds left broke a 60-60
tie and lifted Chelan to the win.
A last-ditch shot by
the Pioneers was well off the mark as the buzzer sounded.
Aaron McQuaid added 17
points and 10 rebounds for Chelan (26-2), which earned its ninth trophy
in 23 state appearances.
Harris was 6 of 18
from the field and 11 of 12 from the free-throw line. He also grabbed
five rebounds, dished out three assists, blocked two shots and came up
with four steals.
Kyle Impero scored 25
points to lead the Pioneers (16-13). He made 11 of 17 shots.
