Saturday’s State 2B results

Boys

First place/Second place

Erik Muelheims scored 26 points and the top-ranked Dragons routed the defending champion Bulldogs in the title game.

As was the case in their four previous meetings this season, Colfax didn’t have an answer for St. George’s suffocating defense. Bulldogs’ star Brandon Gfeller, who averaged 22.3 points per game during the regular season, scored just five points.

Gfeller saw double teams and multiple defenders all game and failed to get into any kind of rhythm.

Will Tender added 13 points and Dexter Sienko chipped in nine points and 15 rebounds for the Dragons.

St. George’s will have a vast majority of their team, including all of their key players, back next year.

After missing two crucial free throws a night before in a loss to Northwest Christian, Pe Ell’s Sami Robinson made both her attempts with 7.1 seconds left to give the Trojans a four-point lead and the eventual win.

Kylie Allen’s only shot attempt of the game for the Timberwolves was a 3-pointer with 8.1 seconds left to bring Morton-White Pass within two, but Robinson’s free throws put the game out of reach.

Robinson led the Trojans with 18 points and three assists and was 7 of 7 from the free-throw line. Whitney Elledge and Ashley Kelly led the Timberwolves with 14 and 12 points, respectively.
