YAKIMA — It took until the 2B State Tournament quarterfinals for the Onalaska Loggers to be swept in a game in 2025.
The first such loss was the most damaging of the season, as seventh-seeded Onalaska ran into a buzzsaw in second-seeded Freeman 25-12, 25-9, 25-16 Wednesday night.
Despite the rout, Loggers head coach Susan Gordon believes her team played harder than it did even in its win against Mount Vernon Christian earlier on Wednesday.
"I thought we fought the whole entire time. I don't believe that our girls ever gave up. They just never rolled over," Gordon said. "They played harder than they did when they won earlier, and I'm very proud of them for that."
Onalaska never quite found its footing on offense against a powerful Scotties defense. The typical recipe of Braelyn Babb passing to Emalie Jacoby was denied by Freeman's towering front row.
Following a 25-12 loss in the first set, the Loggers found life early in the second with a 3-1 lead. That newfound energy was quite short lived, as the Scotties rattled off 16 unanswered points to take a commanding lead prior to finishing off the stanza 25-9.
Onalaska's offense began to exploit the few Freeman weak spots in the third set, but the Scotties still hung on 25-16 to finish off the Loggers and send them to the consolation bracket.
"Their girls play club together all year round," Gordon said of Freeman. "They're a solid team."
Onalaska (15-5) will now face Tonasket in the consolation semifinals Thursday at 8 a.m. A win would put the Loggers in the fifth/sixth game and guarantee the program's first state trophy since 2004 when they placed third in the 1A state tournament.
"We've got to bounce back and not be sad. When it comes down to a game like this, it's about who is OK with not playing for first and second," Gordon said. "Who's OK with getting as high as we can and playing for a trophy? Playing for a trophy is all they wanted. Of course, everybody wants to play for the state championship, but a trophy at the state tournament with everybody coming back minus Renzy Marshall is a great way to start for the next season. Hopefully we bounce back and can get it done."
