Granger Staves Off Toppenish,
47-44 Anderson, Slagg pace Spartan victory in Shootout YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC Ashley Slagg hit a free throw with 4.9 seconds remaining, and Toppenish couldn't get off a final shot as Granger held off Toppenish 47-44 in the first game of the inaugural Tourneytown.com Shootout on Monday in the Yakima Valley SunDome. Slagg's second free throw attempt missed the mark, and Toppenish's Toni Stauffer pulled down the rebound. After a timeout, the Wildcats were unable to maneuver for a final shot before time expired. Slagg finished with 13 points, and teammate Jode Anderson had a game-high 15 points for the Spartans, who twice built 11-point leads in the first half but were unable to shake Toppenish. The Wildcats, led by Crystal Ramirez's 10 points, edged ahead for their only lead of the game when Tiffany Yallup drove for a layup with 5:52 to play in the third quarter for a 28-27 advantage. But Granger quickly reeled off six straight points to retake the lead, and Toppenish couldn't get within two points the rest of the game. Granger fell behind 4-0 in the early going before scoring 15 straight points to lead 15-4 after the first quarter. Slagg scored seven points during that run, including a 3-pointer, and Star Aranda hit a pair of 3-pointers. Aranda converted 3 of 5 3-pointers in the game. The Wildcats didn't take a shot from behind the 3-point barrier. Stauffer pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds and blocked two shots for the Wildcats. Anderson
and Resa Ibarra each had five rebounds for Granger. Slagg and Aranda chipped
in five assists each.
