SPORTS CORESPONDENT
Kennedy Catholic and Evergreen played just about even the first four minutes of the first quarter, 7-6, Lancers leading, but, from there, the Lancers went on a 10-0 run to end that frame en route to a 17-6 lead that was never threatened after that inside the Wolverines' gym Wednesday.
The Lancers won, 56-25.
The Seamount first-place, team, Lancers, 12-0, league, 15-4, overall, will host Columbia River or Kelso for a district game next Wednesday while the third-place team, Wolverines, 12-7, 9-3, will entertain Sequim at 7 pm Friday.
"They gave it a lot of heart," said Wolverines' coach, Natasha Hicks McCray of her team, playing without its usual complement of players.
Kennedy led, 17-6, after the first quarter, and, after that big 10-0 run to end the first, continued that way of play with an outscoring of the Wolverines, 16-6, in the second quarter, to lead, 33-12, going into halftime. And, that score only worsened after that for the Wolverines.
Lancers' coach, Greg Caldwell liked his team's effort.
