Game 2.
At Coulee Dam, WA

The Raiders weren't assured of their win at home until a flurry of fourth-quarter Liberty Bell fouls enabled them to extend a 12 point lead with 7-for-10 free throw shooting.
"They were a scrappy, scrappy club," said Raider coach Jay Runkel. "They don't give you an inch. We didn't pull away until they started fouling toward the end."

Omak 41, Ephrata 40 (OT)
Game 3.
At Ephrata, WA

The Pioneers, losers to two games during the regular season to Ephrata, stunned the Tigers on their home-court as Cami Smith hit the winning basket in overtime.
Smith sank a short jumper at the start of the extra period to score the only points her team needed. Ephrata picked up one point on a foul shot by Wendy Merry, but missed three shots at the basket in the final 33 seconds.
Ephrata had enjoyed a 35-22 lead going into the final quarter of regulation. But Omak switched to a man-to-man defense and produced a 17-4 burst to tie the game at 39-39. With Omak leading by two, Ephrata's Renee Compton sank a lay-up with less than a minute to go to send the game into overtime.
Smith of Omak and Deb Wyman of Ephrata tied scoring honors with 13 points apiece.

Game 4.
At Okanogan, WA

Okanogan outscored Tonasket, 19-12, in the final period to wrap up the home-court win over the pesky Tigers. Tonasket trailed by just six points at the end of the first and third periods.
"It's always our defense and our depth that makes the difference," said Okanogan coach Dick Merriman. "We stayed man-to-man, full-court press for almost the whole game."
The well conditioned Bulldogs proved to be too tough and too deep for the out-manned Tigers. Sheri Duke, a 5-5 junior guard, paced Okanogan with 16 points. Beth Campbell, who got into early foul trouble, finished with 11 points and eight rebounds. Teammate Janell Derting had 10 points, 11 rebounds and eight steals.

Game 9. (Loser out)
At Omak High School

Omak, after trailing by three points at halftime, vaulted into the lead in the third quarter behind Cami Smith's nine-point scoring splurge. They led by eight points with four minutes remaining in the game, then had to repulse a Quincy rally to win it.
Quincy put on a furious full-court press to pull within two points of the Pioneers.
A field goal by Sharon Woods with two minutes to play and a pair of free throws by Kris Whittle 21 seconds later kept Omak in front, with the margin varying between two and four points.
Pam Young scored the game's final basket to again bring the Jackrabbits within two and the Jackrabbits got the last shot of the game, but missed with five seconds to play.
Smith had a great game as she poured in 22 points. Woods collected 15 and Whittle finished with 12.
Young closed our a brilliant career at Quincy with a game-high 26 point performance.

The Bulldogs were never able to get anything going offensively.

Compton led the Tigers with 12 points, six of those in final period, and Dorsey finished with eight.

Ephrata 37, Omak 33
Game 11. (Winner to state loser out)
At Omak High School

It was a classic match-up of a team with size (Ephrata) against a team with quickness (Omak).
Size won. The Tigers clobbered their smaller foes on the boards, 47-27, led by the front line of 6-2 Deb Wyman, 6-0 Renee Compton and 5-9 Angelina Andrews.
But it was the type of game the quicker Pioneers, who forced an epidemic of 32 Ephrata turnovers, could've easily pulled out.
Omak made its move with 1:40 to go and trailing by seven points. The Pioneers' Sharon Woods hit two free throws and a jumper from the side and Kris Whittle sank one of two foul shots to move their club within a field goal of the Tigers at 40 seconds.
Ephrata handed the ball over to Omak with 30 seconds left on a double dribble violation, but the Pioneers missed two shots and committed a turnover. The Tigers wrapped up the win with a pair of foul shots by Eileen Dorsey with one second showing on the clock.
"Our best games have been against them this year," said Ephrata coach Don King. His Tigers beat Omak by six and one during the regular season. The Pioneers won an overtime decision in the first round of the district tournament.
"My guards (Wendy Merry and Dorsey) are only sophomores," said King. "We've got a real mismatch there. But I was real pleased with our poise tonight."
King called the Pioneers' Lisa Metcalfe "the best guard in the league." It was Metcalfe and her backcourt mate, Whittle, who spearheaded Omak's full-court press by constantly waving their hands and thrusting their bodies in the front of the on-coming Tigers.
Both clubs had difficulty from the field, Ephrata shot 32% (12-of-38) while the Pioneers hit just 23% (14-of-62).

Omak (11-12) - Metcalfe 4, Smith 8, Whittle 5, Woods 10, Edwards 2, Schneider, Lamb 4.
Ephrata (15-9) - Compton 6, Merry, Andrews 4, Dorsey 8, Wyman 10, Lonnfors 2, Longworth, Trimble 3, Monson 2, Harvill.

Lake Roosevelt 52, Okanogan 41
Game 12 (Championship)
At Omak High School

Lake Roosevelt coach Jay Runkel came dressed for success to Saturday night's North Central District "A" girls basketball championship.
Runkel directed his team from the sidelines in a three-piece suit. The Raiders responded by dismantling the Bulldogs to lay claim to the district crown.
The Raiders' win gave them a 2-1 advantage in the three games these two clubs have played this season. Both the Raiders and the Bulldogs, co-champions in the Caribou Trail League, will be heading to the state tournament in Tacoma Wednesday.
"You have to think positive about these kinds of things," said Runkel, referring to his pin-striped ensemble. "I don't know if this means we're better than Okanogan. I think both clubs are capable of beating each other on a given night. But I think we have bragging rights in the Caribou."
Okanogan coach Dick Merriman was as gracious in defeat as his attire was informal.
"I think Lake Roosevelt just played better than we did tonight," he said. I expected a much closer game. But we'll be ready when we get over there (to Tacoma).
Lake Roosevelt's Glennis Ware hit five-of-seven long range bombs in the second half to spark the Raiders' championship-game victory.
"Glennis is what really carried us for awhile in the second half," said Runkel. "She was a big key for us in the game."
Ware, a 5-7 senior guard, scored 12 of her game-high 14 points in the final two periods. Four of her five second-half field goals came from outside the 15-foot range.

Okanogan (19-3) - Duke 4, D. Condon 10, Merriman 6, Campbell 8, Derting 2, Pfeiffer 3, Fair 1, C. Condon 6, Beller 1, Walker.
Lake Roosevelt (17-2) - Loe 3, Roberts 12, Frost 13, Haugen 6, Ware 14, Morgan 2, Ethridge 2.
