Girls Basketball Takes 3rd Place in State

Saint George's girls played Mabton in their first State 2B Tournament game on Feb. 28, earning a 45-35 win (see S-R Article, Photo Gallery, and Video Highlights).  In the quarterfinal game, the Dragons faced down #1 seed Ilwaco for a 62-54 victory and a spot in the State Final Four (see S-R Article and Photo Gallery).  Colfax's Carmen Gfeller scored 28 points against Saint George's in the semi-final game, knocking out the Dragons 55-48 (see S-R Article and Photo Gallery) and sending them to battle Napavine for the 3rd place trophy.  That final game of the season featured 12 points by Mia Smith and 9 rebounds by Shayla Melendez, leading to a 50-44 Dragon victory (see S-R Article, Photo Gallery, Video of Team Introductions and Video Highlights).  See the final Girls Tournament Bracket with all the results.  

The 3rd place hardware marks the 12th time the SGS girls basketball team has earned a state trophy, tying them with Reardan for the most by any active 2B team in the state.  Congratulations on a great season!
