Ephrata 56, Chelan 53
Game 1.
At Ephrata, WA

A pair of clutch free throws by Matt Ratigan, another spark by standout, sixth-man Steve LaPlant, and a 50-foot basket by Doug Moore were the chief ingredients in Ephrata's third narrow victory of the season over the Goats.
Ratigan sank two free throws with four seconds to ice the win, after Chelan had battled back from a 50-40 deficit with just over three minutes remaining.
"We had a chance to put it away at the line, but we didn't do it," said Ephrata coach Jim Livengood.
The Tigers missed eight free throws in the final three minutes, and six in the last minute, and one-half of the contest. For the game they were just 12-of-24 at the line.
Jeff Wyman's free throw broke a 53-all tie with just under a minute to play, and Chelan lost two chances to move in front on critical turnovers in the final minute.
The last was an interception by Ratigan. He was fouled immediately, and hit both ends of the pressured 1-and-1.
LaPlant led the winners with 16 points, the same number he popped in leading Ephrata to Monday's playoff victory over Quincy.
Chelan took a 14-11 first-quarter lead, but Ephrata came back to move on top, 29-25, at intermission. The final two points of the half came on Moore's desperation howitzer from 50-feet away, right at the buzzer.
"That turned out to be a pretty big two points for us," said Livengood.
"Ratigan and Jeff Wyman scored 14 each for Ephrata, and Wyman led the Tigers with 10 rebounds.
Chelan was led by the 17 points of league-scoring leader Jim Beeson. Brad Harn tossed in 14 points, Joe Harris added 10, and Ed Beeson collected eight points and seven rebounds.
Chelan enjoyed a fine night from the foul line, hitting 13-of-17 (76.5 percent), but made just 20-of-51 shots from the floor (39.2 percent).

Chelan (11-10) - Harris 10, Harn 14, E. Beeson 8, J. Beeson 17, Hanson 2, Allen, LaPorte, Shelton 2.

Leavenworth 64, Omak 52
Game 2.
At Leavenworth, WA

Omak led by as many as nine points in the second quarter and carried a 43-42 advantage into the final period before Leavenworth caught fire.
The Grizzlies hit 10-of-13 fourth-quarter field goal attempts to pull away from the Pioneers.
"We were definitely tight the first half, but the kids broke out of it later," said Leavenworth coach Sam Willsey. "I was pleased."
The Grizzlies hit 30-of-51 shots from the field (58.8 percent), but Willsey credited a tough man-to-man defense, particularly in the second half, as the key to the win.
"Our defense is what did it for us," he said. "We were told you can't play man-to-man against Omak, but our kids came out and did it very well."
It was a typically balanced Grizzly attack, with Rod Darlington leading the way with 20 points. Chip West and Terry Lietz collected 12 points each, including eight apiece in the first half "that really kept us in it," according to Willsey.
David Rayfield added 10 points, all in the second half, and drew Willsey praise for his defensive work on Omak's Terry Monahan.
Monahan hit six of seven shots in the first half, but was held to just two points in the second half. His 14 points led the Pioneers, and Monte Priest added 13.
The Pioneers lost the services of starting guard Steve Conner in the first quarter with a leg injury. Barry Cowan filled in and collected seven points.
"Omak is just one tough, well-coached ball team," Willsey said. "They played us tough."

Quincy 61, Lake Roosevelt 59 (OT)
Game 3.
At Quincy, WA

Guard Dan Nielson scored just two points for the Jackrabbits, but they were the most important two points of the game, a pair of free throws with 29 seconds left in overtime for the winning margin.
A three-point play my Marc Armstrong had given Quincy a two-point lead in overtime, but Mike Mueller scored to tie it for Lake Roosevelt with under 45 seconds to go.
After Nielson's free throws Lake Roosevelt missed with six seconds left and didn't get off another shot.
The Quincy starting five played the entire 35 minutes.
The Raiders had a chance to win the game in regulation time after erasing a six-point deficit with three minutes to go.
Lake Roosevelt stalled for the final minute of the fourth quarter to work for the tie-breaking basket, but missed with eight seconds left and Quincy rebounded.
"If we had made our free throws, we wouldn't have had to worry about overtime," said Quincy coach Jim Spence. "Sometimes I don't know how we win, but we keep on doing it."
"Both teams played real hard and went to the boards hard," he added. "It was a pretty exciting ball game."
David Street finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds for Quincy, including eight points in the fourth quarter. Armstrong scored 15 points, Rusty Soelter netted 11, all in the second half, and Larry Omlin tossed in 10.
Lake Roosevelt got 18-point efforts from Randy Jackson, Mueller and Brett Seaver. Jim Miner accounted for the other four Raider points, hitting two key buckets in the fourth period.

Leavenworth 60, Ephrata 44
Game 7. (Semifinal)
At Eastmont High School

The Grizzlies, the finest outside shooting team in the Caribou Trail League, were hot.
Leavenworth hit 50 percent of its shots (19-of 38) through the first three quarters and then tossed in nine of 10 free throws during a three-minute stretch of the final period.
Ephrata, meanwhile, connected on just 30.9 percent of its field goal attempts against Leavenworth's man-to-man pressure.
"Leavenworth played well," said Tiger coach Jim Livengood. "They have great outside shooters. I think they're going to do well (at state).
"I thought we played sporadically, but you can't shoot 30 percent and win," he added.
The Grizzlies jumped on top early, withstood a couple of Ephrata charges, and built a 42-29 lead entering the fourth quarter.
The Tigers, using a trapping half-court defense, cut the margin to eight points with four minutes left, but never got any closer. Leavenworth scored the games final seven points to break away.
"The kids played with intensity, and hung in there all the way," Grizzly coach Sam Willsey said. "We didn't  shoot real well but we rebounded well and in the end we maintained our composure."
Balance, a key for Leavenworth all season, was largely in evidence in the victory.
David Rayfield bombed in a game-high 19 points. Terry Lietz collected 14 points, including 10 in the second half. He made several important baskets to halt Ephrata's momentum.
Chip West scored 12 points and was the dominant figure on the backboards, and Rod Darlington tossed in 10 points before fouling out with six minutes left to play.
Floor leader Darren Weaver didn't score a point, but did an outstanding job of handling the Tigers' pressure defense and setting up his teammates for several baskets.
Wyman and Leavenworth's Doug Darlington were involved in an accidental head-to-head collision that halted the contest for 10 minutes of the fourth quarter and sent Darlington's out of the game with a concussion.

Cashmere 51, Quincy 44
Game 8. (Semifinal)
At Eastmont High School

It wasn't until six seconds were left on the clock that the Bulldogs fans felt secure enough to send up the traditional "on to state" cheer.
It was not an easy Cashmere win.
"They played hard and took our game away from us, said Cashmere coach Bill Kelly of the rival Jackrabbits.
Quincy jumped to a 12-6 lead, and stayed on top Jeff Kenoyer's three-point play with 33 seconds left in the half lifted the Bulldogs to a 25-24 intermission advantage.
The third quarter was all Cashmere's and in particular, David Doane's. He hit five of five field goal attempts and two of two foul shots during the period, as the Bulldogs opened up a 43-30 advantage.
But Quincy didn't fold and made a run at the cold-shooting Bulldogs. The cut the lead to six points with 37 seconds left, but couldn't get any closer.
The third quarter they did it to us," said Quincy coach Jim Spence. "Every time we play Cashmere I tell my kids they have to play well in the third quarter or we're going to get beat, and that's what happened tonight."
Yet Spence was understandably pleased with his club's effort.
"We played as tough as we could against them," he said. "Our kids don't quit. They play as hard as they can. I'm very proud of them."
In the fourth quarter Cashmere made just two of eight field goals attempts and only four of 13 free throws.
"We had a little more movement, and changed offenses (in the third quarter), but we we've got to have more than two guys scoring, " said Kelly.
Doane led the winners with 19 points and Randy Grams added 10. Marc Armstrong paced Quincy with 15 points, mostly on tightly-guarded outside jump shots.

Chelan 83, Quincy 56
Game 9. (Loser out)
At Eastmont High School

Quincy beat Chelan twice during the regular season, but there were no match for the Goats on this night.
In fact, few teams could have beaten Chelan they way they performed Friday.
"They're a good ball team, regardless of where they finished in the league," Quincy coach Jim Spence said of Chelan. "Right now they're playing great."
"They just played a super ball game," he added. "That's two in a row like that for them."
Last Saturday the Goats put on the same kind of show in blasting Omak.
"We've got a good ball club," said Chelan coach Robbe Pitts. "I was impressed with them tonight. Our defense really looked strong, and we haven't been known to shoot that good in the past.
"It's been there all year, we just kind of had to figure out how to put it together. We've really matured as a team the last five ball games."
Leading, 8-7, with little more than two minutes left in the first quarter, Chelan ran off 18 straight points to take complete control, much to the delight of the large and vociferous Goat following.
The lead reached 40-20 at halftime, and swelled to 64-32 at the end of three.
Chelan's terrific tandem of Joe Harris and Jim Beeson were outstanding, while Brad Harn and Kelly Goble were also major important contributors to the win.
Harris, described by Spence as "the best guard in the league," fired in a season-high 26 points, and Beeson, the CTL scoring leader in this, his sophomore season, netted 21 points. The strong smooth forward canned  five of six shots in the second half.
Harn tossed in 10 points mostly from the "three-point" range, while Goble, a reserve sophomore guard, came up with several alert defensive plays which help ignite Chelan's amazing first half spurt.
The Goats hit 34-of-70 shots from the field (48.6 percent) and that was 25 more shots than Quincy was able to get off.
David Street collected 14 points, 10 from the free throw line, and reserve Terry Berens and Jim Neavill came up with season-high 10-and-9 point efforts for the Jackrabbits.
"I was disappointed in the way, we rebounded, but they're a big club," Spence commented. "Sometimes you just play a team that's better. Tonight was our turn."

Chelan (13-10) - Harris 26, Harn 10,Hanson 4, E. Beeson 6, J. Beeson 21, Goble 6, Allen 3, Shelton 3, LaPorte 2, Griensewic 2, Jenkins.

Ephrata 79, Tonasket 67
Game 10. (Loser out)
At Eastmont High School

Last fall Tonasket and Ephrata battled for a berth in the State "A" football playoffs. Friday night's basketball game resembled that gridiron clash, although the outcome was reversed.
There were 77 foul shots attempted, 61 fouls called and five disqualifications via foul in the marathon game.
Ephrata connected on 29-of-46 free throw attempts, including 16-of-23 in the fourth quarter, to key the victory. Tonasket was 21-for-31 at the line.
Ephrata jumped on top early, built a 40-29 halftime lead, and led by as many as 15 points in the third quarter.
But Tonasket rallied to cut the deficit to seven points, 57-50 on a Gregg Green basket a minute into the final period. But Tonasket could get no closer.
"A bad start," said Tonasket coach Larry Hearst. "We came back a couple of times, but we couldn't hold it."
Said Ephrata coach Jim Livengood: "At times, we played real well, got out and ran the break, but the bad part was we missed a lot of free throws, and we didn't show much patience."
Matt Ratigan paced the winners with 20 points, including five free throws in the final period. Reserve Steve LaPlant netted 18 Ephrata points.
Tonasket also had three double figure scorers, led by Green and his season-high 21 points. Jay Hawkins added 20 before fouling out midway through the fourth quarter, and Steve Stafford scored 14.
Said Hearst: "We had a heck of a season. Nothing to hang our heads about all year."
"We're not the best team in the Caribou, but may be the most hustling team. Our record may not show it (10-13, including three losses to Ephrata), but we've had a good year."

Ephrata 43, Chelan 40
Game 11. (winner to state, loser out)
At Eastmont High School

Chelan, averaging 86.5 points in two Eastmont gym outings, discovered early it wasn't going to be easy against Ephrata.
And in the end it was "The Cloud" who made the difference in Chelan coach Robbe Pitts' opinion.
Jeff Wyman, Ephrata's burly 6-7 center, "was like a big cloud out there. Every time we played them this year we were intimidated by him and we shouldn't have been."
Wyman owned the territory under both backboards and also provided the spark offensively. He scored eight straight points at the start of the fourth quarter after Chelan had rallied in the third period to grab a 30-29 lead. Wyman's outburst helped Ephrata overcome a disastrous two-point third quarter.
And it was Wyman down the stretch, grabbing rebounds, blocking shots and forcing Chelan players to change or rush their shots that provided to be the clincher for the Tigers.
Ephrata's defense, not just Wyman by himself either, frustrated Chelan from start to finish. The 20-footers Chelan had hit in previous games wouldn't go in.
And the Goats bread-and-butter player, sophomore Jim Beeson wasn't a factor. Beeson hardly touched the ball in the first half, didn't score a point before intermission, got into foul trouble early and finally fouled out with only five points 3:59 from the end.
"Our guards on defense caused them a lot of problems," said Ephrata coach Jim Livengood. "These kids deserve this. They were just one play away from going to the football playoffs."
Wyman's four-basket spurt proved to be just enough of a cushion for the Tigers, who saw a 37-30 lead dwindle to 42-39 in the final seconds because they hit only 6-of-19 free throw tries in the last four minutes.
However, Matt Ratigan, Fred Phelps and Wyman each got one of two tries to fall in the final minute to help wrap up the victory.
With Beeson having his problems, it was fellow sophomore, Kelly Goble who took on the responsibility for most of Chelan's fourth quarter comeback.
Goble, with an unorthodox, nearly two-handed shot that seems to knuckleball it's way to the hoop, scored eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, including a long-ranger that made the score 42-39 with 15 seconds left.
Joe Harris, whose remarkable shooting touch of a night earlier left him for most part, made it 43-40 with a free throw but missed a second try with just four seconds left and the Ephrata celebration soon followed. Harris finished with 13 points to lead the cold-shooting Goats (17-of-52 for just 33.4 percent).
Wyman tossed in 17 points for Ephrata and Steve LaPlant added 10, all in the second quarter.
Of Note: Ephrata, under the direction of Bob Atkinson, traveled to Tacoma in 1962, the same year the Tigers' current coach Jim Livengood, played on the Quincy team that also qualified for the "A" classic.

Cashmere 70, Leavenworth 51
Game 12. (Championship, both to state)
At Eastmont High School

It was a new look, new format season for the Caribou Trail League basketballers but nothing changed at all as far as the Cashmere Bulldogs are concerned.
Coach Bill Kelly's Orange continued their incredible dynasty by copping North Central District Class "A" championship No. 5 in the past seven years Saturday night at a jam-packed Eastmont High gymnasium.
It'll be the seventh straight appearance for Cashmere at Tacoma, the same number of years Kelly has been coaching the Bulldogs.
After an even first period, it was Cashmere's game the rest of the way. The Bulldogs limited Leavenworth to just one field goal in the second period while building a 35-26 halftime lead.
Cashmere controlled the second half by giving the Grizzlies just one shot then consistently working the ball inside the Leavenworth defense while producing some outside firepower as well.
"Since I hurt my leg (torn Achilles tendon) this is the first time they've played that well," said Kelly of the Bulldogs' 21st win in 23 games. "I think they got tired of making excuses and decided to get the job done. This was a big win for us, as big any win I've had in district."
Leavenworth had ideas about showing Cashmere there's new district championship territory in the district.
But the talented Leavenworth crew may have left its game in the locker-room last week when they celebrated clinching a state berth.
Coach Sam Willsey of Leavenworth had no excuses.
"We tried something new tonight," Willsey quipped. "We worked on our no-offense offense and matador defense. Matador defense. That's when the guy drives by you and you yell ole."
"I should have stayed home and watched Saturday Night Live."
One of the reasons Willsey's thoughts turned to television instead of the ball game was Cashmere's Don Sites.
A 5-10 junior, Sites did a little bit of everything for the Bulldogs. Scoring a career-high 17 points was only part of his bid for Orange MVP of the night. Sites did an excellent defensive job on Leavenworth's leading scorer, David Rayfield teamed with Chris Barnhart.
"This was the first time Sites had checked Leavenworth's David Rayfield," Kelly said of Sites performance. "He came up to me after practice Friday and asked "How about giving me a shot at him?" I said, hell, it's yours."
"It's good to go over there (to Tacoma) as champs," said Kelly. '"It's neat to get some momentum back. I think it's important that you go over as winners, not that Leavenworth can't do well over there too."
