Between the Class 4A and 3A girls state tournaments, 30 high school basketball games will be played in the Tacoma Dome this weekend. The News Tribune will be providing game recaps, highlights, interviews, stats and more.
Follow along for live updates from Friday’s semifinals.
Semifinals
As No. 11 Kennedy Catholic had made clear after upset wins over Chiawana and Gonzaga Prep in the Tacoma Dome, the Lancers had no intentions of going away quietly.
So it wasn’t too much of a surprise No. 1 Davis had to grind out a result against Kennedy Catholic in the 4A semifinals on Friday afternoon.
“I felt like some of our shots weren’t going in (early),” Davis guard Deets Parrish said. “We expected them to come out hard, but maybe not that hard. They gave us a really good competition, so I really liked this game. I enjoyed it.”
It wasn’t always pretty, but Davis’ talent and length eventually wore Kennedy Catholic down in a 57-38 win. Defensively, the Pirates held Kennedy Catholic guard Jayden Fitzgerald to a hard-earned 18 points. Kennedy Catholic managed just 19 points in the second half.
Parrish said she plays on the same AAU team as Fitzgerald, so there was familiarity between them.
“I’ve been going against her all summer.” Parrish said. “She’s tough. It was going to be me and Kobe Johnson to guard her, just because we’re both really lengthy.”
Parrish scored a team-high 15 points, guard Cheyenne Hull scored 14, guard Isa Garcia scored 14 and guard Averie Brandt added 10.
Davis will play the winner of Sumner and Lake Washington in Saturday’s championship game, 5 p.m. at the Tacoma Dome.
