Recaps, highlights from quarterfinals at 4A and 3A state boys basketball tournaments
Between the Class 4A and 3A boys state tournaments, 30 high school basketball games will be played in the Tacoma Dome this weekend. The News Tribune will be at all of them, providing game recaps, highlights, interviews, stats and more. Follow along for live updates from Thursday's quarterfinals: Quarterfinals When Glacier Peak's Josiah 'Jo' Lee split his pair of free throws in a one-point game with 15.3 seconds remaining, Camas had their chance to tie or win with a three — but Papermakers standout Ethan Harris missed his last-second putback and the Grizzlies held on in an early-morning, overtime thriller at the Tacoma Dome. Grizzlies point guard Reed Nagel dropped a game-high 16 points, Lee had 11, and No. 3 Glacier Peak outlasted Camas, 44-42, in Thursday's 4A state quarterfinals. Punch Glacier Peak's ticket back to the 'Final Four' for consecutive seasons. 'Hopefully we make it a little farther this year,' Lee smiled, part of last year's third-place finish at the Tacoma Dome. 'Back and forth the whole game, sent it to overtime. Made a couple free throws, missed a couple free throws, but it's the ones you make that count.' Perhaps it was the peculiarity of a 9 a.m. tipoff, but neither offense found their groove until the second half. Camas guard Jace VanVoorhis knocked down the Papermakers' first field goal with 2:16 remaining in the first quarter. Glacier Peak's Zachary Albright, a 6-5 post, grabbed 15 rebounds to go with seven points and two assists. 'I think Zach played extremely well,' Lee said. '(He) completely controlled the glass.' Nagel finished with 16 points (7-15 FG), three rebounds, and an assist. Camas' Harris was a two-way force with 14 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. 'Reed's been in a little funk recently, but after that game? He played awesome,' Lee said. 'I think he's back now.' The No. 3 Grizzlies advance to Friday's 4A semifinals, a 3:45 p.m. tipoff at the Tacoma Dome. They'll meet the winner of No. 1 Gonzaga Prep and No. 2 Auburn.
