Clarkston 51, Black Hills 42

YAKIMA — Clarkston beat Black Hills of Tumwater in a Washington Class 2A quarterfinal-round game at the SunDome behind Trey Dreadfulwater’s 18 points. The Bantams will play Lindbergh at 9 tonight at the same site.

Clarkston’s Alex Italia contained Black Hills’ 6-6 combo guard Justin Hicks, who finished with eight points, just one night after dropping 22. Hicks had just one field goal in the final three quarters.

Italia took two charges and Max Johnson took one, his coming with three minutes left and allowing the Bantams to take a four-shot lead on their next possession.

“Trey, he was really a difference maker for us on the offensive end,” Clarkston coach Justin Jones said of Dreadfulwater, who went 4-for-8 outside and also frequently found his way into the lane.

“Every time we needed a big shot, the ball ended up in his hands and he was just able to capitalize.”

Tru Allen added 12 points and Italia had 11 for the Bantams (19-5), who outscored Black Hills (20-7) by five in the second quarter to carry a 25-21 lead into the half. The Bantams led the rest of the way.

“What won us that game was our defense,” Jones said. “To hold that team to 28 points through the second, third and fourth quarters, I was just really proud of my team.”

Clarkston went 13-for-13 at the free-throw line, with Allen hitting five in the fourth to seal the game.

Potlatch 64, Riverstone 41

CALDWELL, Idaho — After being held to two points in the second quarter, Potlatch erupted for 36 in the third and downed Riverstone International of Boise in the first round of the Idaho 1A Division I tournament at Vallivue High School.

Brayden Hadaller compiled 26 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Loggers (22-2), and played a key role in holding Riverstone threat Charlie DeBoer to nine points.

Potlatch faces Ambrose at 7 tonight in a rematch of a game won earlier this season by the Loggers.

“It’s going to be a barnburner,” Potlatch coach Ryan Ball said.

The Loggers, who dominated the third period 36-17, got 18 points from Tyler Wilcoxson and 13 points, eight rebounds and three assists from Connor Akins. Ethan Hurt notched 13 points for Riverstone.

“We didn’t come out well — that sometimes happens down here,” Ball said. “Maybe nerves, maybe a few other things. There was a little frustration, because we’ve been used to getting on people and starting out fast most of the season. Shots weren’t dropping. I think that was lending to some our anxiety. When you’re kind of the target down here, you feel a little bit of that pressure.”

In the third quarter, “We didn’t change anything up,” he said. “We just came out and made a few shots in the second half. Down here, you just want to win.”

Ambrose 56, Kamiah 49

CALDWELL, Idaho — Despite trailing by 10 in the fourth, Kamiah rallied to within four of Ambrose late, but couldn’t get any closer as it fell in the opening round of the Idaho Class 1A Division I tournament. The Kubs will play at 2 p.m. Pacific today against Riverstone back at Vallivue High School.

“I’m not disappointed,” Kubs coach Aaron Skinner said. “I’m extremely proud. I haven’t been prouder of a group of guys in my coaching career.

“The resolve that these guys have, the resiliency, we don’t give up. ... We’re like a damn bug, we don’t go away. ... We’re one of the smallest schools here and have some of the biggest hearts.”

Ambrose (23-2) was led by the 6-foot-7, 240-pound Paul Yenor, the brother of Lewis-Clark State forward Travis Yenor, scored a game-high 29 against the Kubs (17-10).

“If you take him out of the equation, they were 3-for-18 from 3, so we did exactly what we needed to do,” Skinner said, “but they kept finding the big kid. And he really hurt us.”

GIRLSPomeroy 41, Curlew 26

SPOKANE — Maddy Dixon collected 26 points and eight rebounds and Sydney Watko added 10 boards as Pomeroy dumped Curlew in the quarterfinals of the Washington 1B tournament at Spokane Arena.

The Pirates play a semifinal game at 7:15 tonight against Oakesdale, the only team to beat them this season.

Top-seeded Pomeroy (22-1) converted 15 of 18 free throws, with Dixon going 6-of-8 and Emma Severs 6-of-6. Heidi Heytvelt tallied seven points and four steals.

The Pirates held Curlew to 17-percent shooting, allowing no points in the second quarter while assuming a 18-8 halftime lead.

Korin Baker scored 13 points for a Curlew team that challenged the Pirates inside.

“We haven’t really seen any size this season,

so we had to work hard on the inside tonight,” Pomeroy coach Tai Bye said. “Maddy Dixon and Sydney Watko played really strong defense on Baker and (Claire) LaDue. We struggled to hit shots from the outside but we were able to have good enough movement with the ball that it opened up a lot of good shots down low.”
