SPOKANE-After the No. 4 Columbia (Burbank) Coyotes blew the doors off No. 3 Lake Roosevelt in the second half of a quarterfinal matchup Thursday, one might have wondered if the young and talented Coyotes could challenge No. 1 Davenport for a state title. The Gorillas showed in the 2B state semifinals Friday that that was not the case, never trailing against Columbia en route to a convincing 76-52 win at the Spokane Arena Friday, March 3. Davenport advanced to the state...

SPOKANE VALLEY - Davenport's victory over Lind-Ritzville/Sprague in the District 7 2B Tournament loser-out round last Wednesday ensured the Gorillas had a place in the District 6/7 Crossover, but a top-five finish at Districts was important to make sure that crossover wouldn't be against juggernaut Okanogan.
