Summary

The Crusaders scored all their fourth-quarter points from the foul line until a last-minute three-point play to hold off the Grizzlies.

While Riverside Christian was making 16 of 27 free throws, including 8 of 14 in the fourth quarter, Bear Creek made just 8 of 26. That included a number of crucial misses in the final period after they had rallied from 11 down in the third quarter to trail by just three with more than 5 minutes to play.

Kendra Staymates led the Crusaders with 12 points and Lexi Carpenter added 10. Riverside Christian shot just 28.6 percent from the field but will pick up its third state trophy in three appearances.

Bear Creek, which has yet to receive a trophy in three state trips, got nine points from Madelyn Magee and Kendall Engelstone.
