CLASS 4A
The No. 3 next to Chiawana’s name and the No. 11 next to Kennedy Catholic’s meant nothing to Lancers’ guard Jayden Fitzgerald. To her, they were meaningless numbers.
So when the final horn sounded and Kennedy Catholic celebrated after knocking off Chiawana, Fitzgerald wasn’t surprised.
“You guys (the media) may think it’s an upset, but we know deep down that we can do it,” she said. “To us, it’s not an upset.”
Fitzgerald, a first-team all-league selection this winter in the 4A North Puget Sound League, scored 15. Paide Nadarski scored a team-high 17 points, while Britain Brooks added 14.
Kennedy Catholic held a comfortable lead for most of the game but had to hold off a late Chiawana rally. The difference? Kennedy Catholic’s 14 made free throws (87.5%), compared to Chiawana’s 46.7% clip from the line.
“We just had to stay together,” Fitzgerald said. “Our sister bond is what made us win. We just stuck together, supported each other all the way through.”
Chiawana guard Kailee Maldonado scored a game-high 19 points in the loss. Kennedy Catholic advances to play No. 5 Gonzaga Prep, 9 a.m. on Thursday in the 4A quarterfinals.
