Summary

Despite completely unraveling in the third quarter, the Panthers found a way to beat the Red Devils.

Valley Christian’s 13-point halftime lead turned into a four-point deficit heading into the fourth. The Panthers, however, took control in the final quarter and earned a spot in Saturday night’s 1B title game.

Neah Bay's full-court pressure defense forced Valley Christian into 16 second-half turnovers. The Panthers cleaned it up in the fourth and did just enough down the stretch to come away with the win.

Kolby Blew made all seven of his free-throw attempts and finished with a game-high 20 points for Valley Christian. Craver Small added 15 points and 10 rebounds.

The Red Devils were led by Leyton Doherty's 13 points.
