Brewster 52, Lake Roosevelt 49
Game 3.
At Omak, WA

If you ever needed a reason why it's important to take care of the basketball, just look at the Brewster Bears' 62-59 victory over Lake Roosevelt in North Central District 1A district semifinal play on Thursday night.
The Bears committed just six turnovers for the game, and they turned the Raiders' 13 turnovers into 15 points.
"That's been an important thing all year, not making turnovers and being able to create more than we're making," Brewster coach Cass Gebbers said.
The Bears will play Chelan at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in the district title game, while the Raiders will play Cascade at 3 p.m. Saturday to determine the third and fourth seeds to regional play. Both games will be played in Omak.
Chelan beat Cascade 65-48 in the other semifinal Thursday.
Brewster trailed Lake Roosevelt by 10 at halftime, but it limited the Raiders to just 29.6 percent shooting from the floor in the second half to mount its comeback.
"We changed a few assignments (on defense)," Gebbers said. "It was definitely a five-man defense. Definitely a team effort."
The Brewster coach lauded the defensive play of the Bears' bench, especially Edward Hernandez, Jose Cruz-Najera, and Sergio Naranjo.
Wade Gebbers led the way for Brewster with 25 points (including four 3-pointers), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. Stockton Taylor added 15 points, seven rebounds and two assists, and Eli Driessen chipped in 12 points, four boards and two assists for the Bears.
Ed Wolfe had 21 points, 11 rebounds and three assists for Lake Roosevelt, while Cade Egbert had 12 points, six boards, and two assists, and Tanner Loe had eight points, 12 rebounds and two assists.

Chelan 65, Cascade-Leavenworth 48
Game 4.
At Omak, WA

The Goats outscored Cascade 19-9 in the second quarter to pull away early.
"For our first game in the district tournament, I felt our defense played outstanding," Chelan coach Joe Harris said. "We held Cascade to 28 percent shooting, and we got good pressure out front. We got some things going defensively in the first half."
Junior Joe Harris netted 28 points on 10-for-20 shooting to lead the Goats. He added eight rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block, while Derrick Talley scored 10 points, and Mat Engstom chipped six points and eight boards.
Fialele Coffin had 11 points, six rebounds, two steals and a block for Cascade.

Game 6. (Winner #3 to regional, loser #4)

Fresh off a loss to Brewster on Friday, the Raiders came out on fire and led 12-2 after the first quarter.
"We came out with intensity and in attack mode," Lake Roosevelt coach Brad Wilson said. "We were disappointed with how we played in the second half against Brewster, and we wanted to come out and do things right (against Cascade)."
Freshman post Ty Egbert led the way with 20 points and 14 rebounds, including six offensive, for the Raiders.
"(Egbert) did a nice job of making himself available under the basket," Wilson said.
Cade Egbert, Ed Wolfe, and Ronald Salas each added 10 points for Lake Roosevelt.
