Davenport sophomore Brenick Soliday drives past Lancer junior guard Tayshawn Colvin en route to a 73-68 upset of the top-seeded Liberty (Spangle) team on their home court in a NE2B league semi-final Wednesday night, June 16.
SPANGLE--Tennesee Rainwater poured in 24 points while Brenick Soliday added 19 points en route to Davenport's 73-68 upset of the top-seeded Liberty (Spangle) team on their home court in a NE2B league semi-final Wednesday night, June 16.
The visiting Gorillas boys basketball team entered the game as the No. 4 seed after topping Lind-Ritzville/Sprague in the quarter-finals Monday, June 14.
The game was close through the first three quarters before Davenport built a nine-point lead under two minutes to go. A couple turnovers and Liberty three-pointers later, and the lead was down to one possession. Key free throws from Rainwater, Soliday and Wyatt Telecky helped the Gorillas hang on for the upset.
The Gorillas rode Rainwater and Soliday for scoring, but received big contributions from Telecky, Jarrett Jacobsen and Ethan Douse. Telecky scored 14 points and brought down 10 rebounds, while Jacobsen had 12 points and Douse grabbed four rebounds, dished out three assists and drew two charges.
As a result of the win, Davenport advances to the league title game in Colfax against the Bulldogs. Colfax, the No. 3 seed, topped No. 2 St. George's, 68-54, in the other semi-final Wednesday.
