Earlier this season, the Camas girls basketball team found itself down to some good teams in non-league.
The Papermakers would rally to make it close, but never could secure the win.
But that changed Friday night in the 4A bi-district tournament.
Down by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, Camas rallied to beat Rogers-Puyallup 60-55 at Stadium High School in Tacoma and secure a berth in the regional round of the state tournament.
“For three quarters, we really weren’t playing well,” Camas coach Scott Preuninger said. “We were down eight halftime, down eight heading into the fourth. And that’s what I told the girls. And then they just came together and got it done.”
Haley Hanson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to kickstart Camas in the fourth quarter. Courtney Clemmer’s three-point play with three minutes left gave Camas a 56-55 lead.
