Summary

Andy Comfort totaled 26 points and 12 rebounds, and Life Christian held off a furious Okanogan rally to win 65-61 and take fourth place.

The Eagles began the game on a 9-0 run as the Bulldogs went nearly five minutes without scoring. They extended their lead to 34-19 just before the half on a Reid Roelofs three.

Okanogan clawed their way back in the game, as Toby Pruitt hit three second-half threes. They finally tied the game at 55 on a Jim Townsend shot with five minutes to go. They took the lead on Tyler Morris' bucket with under a minute left, but Luke Grocott made an inside shot to reclaim the lead, and after a late turnover, Wyatt Dunlap sealed the game with two free throws with 6 seconds left.

Roelofs made four threes and dished out five assists. Townsend pulled down 13 rebounds to go with his 21 points, and Pruitt and Ben Cate each had five assists for Okanogan.
