The 2013 State Basketball Championship Tournament is underway in the Tacoma Dome. The state’s top-ranked 4A girls team, the Mt Rainier Rams (26-1) came from behind to pull off a proverbial nail biting win over the fifth-ranked Inglemoor Vikings (21-3), final score 61-56.

Foul trouble and free throws were the difference in the game. Inglemoor had two starters foul out while Mt Rainier had one reserve player foul out. At the free throw line Inglemoor hit only 12 of 19, while Mt Rainier hit 20 of 26; Brittany McPhee had 14 of those.

Mt Rainier’s next game is against Mead on May 1st, Friday night at 9pm in the Tacoma Dome.
