Local teams shine in Friday's state playoffs

And 11 tomorrow.

Tonight, tom cole and the south medford girls with a chance to enter yet another 6a state tournament.

And with the lady panthers getting hot as of late.

It was seeming pretty likely.

Bend and south medford doing battle at dennis murphy court.

Winner to the tournament.

=== toni coleman has the panthers on a early run.

Side step through the lane.

Panthers up by 7.

Coleman had all 7 of those points.

=== moments later.

Off the inbound.

Pedrojetti.

She is dangerous when she gets hot.

The panthers up 18 to 3, and running away.

=== 2nd quarter.

Elisha daniels in her senior year.

Cuts across the lane.

Helping bend get back to business.

Moments later, off the steal.

Bend going on a little run here.

Beautiful unselfish pass.

And the panthers are falling on their heels for just a moment.

=== now remember pedrojetti is dangerous if she gets hot.

But if she is left in the corner.

Completely by herself.

Well.

There is your result.

=== the panthers are moving on to the state tournament.

70 to 34 the final score.

So, south medford is set to take on sheldon at the state tournament in portland.

The top two teams from the southwest conference will square off for a third time.

South medford won both of the first two games.

The first by 14.

The second by 10.

Last season, the crater girls made it to the big game.

And fell just short.

This time around, the comets are more expierenced.

But will have to go through the gauntlet again.

Seniors like presely robison are playing in their final games at crater high school tonight.

Crater and west albany.

=== first points of the game tonight.

Averie young was the definition of a senior leader.

She had six points and two blocks in the first couple minutes.

=== west albany going to use the three point line though to send crater a message, that says we are not scared.

So the comets see that situation, and raise another one.

=== like a presely robison fast break layup, which is part of a 10 nothing run.

=== and then here is better situation.

To close the 1st.

At the buzzer.

Teya amidei.

Banks home the half court bomb.

Look at it one more time.

=== it was all crater tonight.

Seems like the comets couldnt miss anything.

Even half court shots.

The comets are headed to the tournament.

The crater girls will take on churchill, once again.

The winner will advance to the semi final.

Guess what?

These two have already played twice.

Churchill got the win both times.

Can crater get the very last laugh in the state tournament?

Stay tuned.

The hidden valley girls hosting a home playoff game with a chance for yet another local school to appear in the state tournament.

They are getting hyped at hidden valley for 4a hoops.

=== banks getting it started early though.

Look at this nice kobe looking turnaround and scoop.

The braves are up by 8 in the 2nd quarter.

=== now the braves keeping with the nice ball movement.

Popping the ball around.

Banks goes up 21 to 14.

==== the stangs are sticking in though.

Rolling with the punches.

This team can do that.

Cross court pass.

Shot wont go.

But the 2nd attempt will.

And the stangs are chipping back into it.

=== fast forward into the 3rd qurter now.

Right at the start.

And this ball game is tied up.

Stangs officially back in it.

=== and it was all hidden valley from that point forward.

They completely take the game over.

Off hustle plays like this.

=== the mustangs will take on north marion in the state tournament quarter final.

55 to 39, your final score.

The vikings were not able to get it done in round one.

So sadly their season comes to an end.

Mazama falls to valley catholic.

But the vikings finish with a playoff
