Knights beat TL-G
King's Way Christian rallies back for 54-50 victory
YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC
The Trout Lake-Glenwood
boys basketball team's stay at the Class 1B state tournament was a short
one.
But the experience,
Mustangs coach Dan Concienne said, will go a long way.
"You know, I'll
probably live this last game for a couple months as far as the woulda,
coulda, shoulda," Concienne said after the team had returned to
Klickitat County. "(But) the experience the SunDome gave us -- from the
staff to the hotel to the host -- you can't replace that."
TL-G fell 54-50 to
King's Way Christian in consolation play Thursday morning. The Mustangs'
season ended at 10-16, while the Knights (10-13) advanced to meet Lake
Quinault at 11 a.m. Friday.
After Wednesday's
53-24 first-round loss to Moses Lake Christian, TL-G got going early
Thursday as it raced to a 12-3 lead less than 4 1/2 minutes in.
"Coming into today the
team got refocused; that was our whole intention -- bring the intensity
early," Concienne said.
While the Knights
weren't slowing the Mustangs, foul trouble was. TL-G's leading scorer
Tygh Schuster picked up his third foul in the first quarter, teammate
Jacob Wells was tagged his third before halftime and Andy Wells had four
fouls by the end of the third.
Trailing 17-9 early in
the second, the Knights closed the half on a a 14-2 run to take a 23-19
lead.
The Mustangs briefly
regained the lead midway through the third before Sean Russell put the
Knights ahead to stay with a layup that made it 32-30 with 2:50 left in
the period.
King's Way's Christian
Bukant scored seven of his team-high 10 points in the second half.
Jacob Wells led the
Mustangs with 15 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out, while Andy
Wells added 13 points and 12 rebounds and Schuster chipped in 11 points.
The Mustangs were
making the program's first trip to the state tournament since Trout Lake
qualified for the 1997 tournament in Spokane. Glenwood made the jaunt to
the Lilac City in 1992.
