Game 2: Montesano 66, Stevenson 19
(Montesano, WA) After a slow start the Montesano Bulldogs kicked it into overdrive in a hurry and ran past the Stevenson Bulldogs in a game that was decided by the end of the 1st quarter. Both teams missed several opportunities to score in the early going and actually Stevenson had more chances to lead but simply could not get the ball to fall early or frankly ever in this game.
It was Montesano leading 6-4 with 4:40 left to play in the game and after a time-out by Montesano Head Coach Julie Graves with likely an animated discussion with her players Monte went on a 15-0 run to finish the quarter including an 8 point surge in the final 1:10 to lead 21-4. Zoe Hutchings led the scoring with 7 of her 17 and was helped with great defense from pressing defense. Katie Granstrom had several steals and disruptions leading to easy buckets for Montesano.
Samantha Stanfield and Glory Grubb were also successful in causing grief defensively and between the 3 knocked down 21 combined points, Grubb with 12 of those as she hit 1 of the 2 3’s for MHS. Lexi Lovell also was solid as usual with 12 while Frosh Zoee Lisherness had a big game in the paint blocking shots and rebounding while adding 6 of her own points. Haylee Perkinson provided a spark off the bench rebounding and 6 points.
Stevenson was limited to just 9 points in the 1st half and 10 in the 2nd with just 2 points in the 3rd quarter and had their season come to an end with the loss. Montesano will move on the District Semi-Finals on Saturday against La Center.
