Auburn Riverside pulled out a 48-40 victory against Kennedy. It wasn’t pretty, but the Ravens won their second straight title. There’s a story in Sunday’s paper, but the game ran a little late, so look for another story in Monday’s TNT.

As for Oregon, this comes from the AP (I listened to part of the game on the radio before the Riverside game started)….Puyallup native Michael Meek’s Southridge girls won their fourth straight Oregon title.

Rainier Beach 53, Lakes 45.

Girls are 12 minutes from tip. FSN if you’re near a TV.

Ephrata’s Ross Buchert, Patrick Simon, Daniel Simon and Landen Lange trap Burlington-Edison’s Jake Anderson in the second quarter of the final game of the WIAA 2A basketball tournament, Saturday, March 8, 2008.

Elma’s Katie Colard drives through Prosser’s Cally Mercer, left, Nancy Cornwell, center, and Sarah Concienne on her way to the basket in the fourth quarter of the 3rd or 6th place game at the WIAA 2A girls basketball tournament at the Tacoma Dome. Prosser won 79-51.

It’s 62-38 Lakes after three and, to be honest, I’ve stopped tracking the points (that’s what post-game stat sheets are for!). Lakes went on a 21-1 run over a little more than four minutes to pretty much run the game out of reach.

Lakes will take the fourth-place trophy with the win, ending its season at 24-2, losing to only Kennedy and Auburn Riverside, the two teams playing for the title tonight.

Lakes grad Kate Starbird made a guest appearance at the game, watching her alma mater take home the fourth place trophy.
