Girls basketball: King’s Way Christian 49, Tenino 45, OT

Mackenzie Ellertson and Hannah Moats combined to score all but two of their team’s points as the Knights stayed alive in the 1A District 4 tournament.

Moats had a three-point play to put King’s Way ahead 44-41 with 2:50 left in overtime. Then Ellertson made four free throws down the stretch to secure victory in the loser-out game at Montesano.

Ellertson finished with 27 points while fellow sophomore Moats scored a career-high 20.

After trailing most of the game, King’s Way took its first lead with 2:05 remaining on Bethany Hutchin’s only basket.

Tenino sent the game to overtime with a 3-pointer with two seconds left in regulation.

After its first district tournament win as a 1A school, King’s Way advances to another loser-out game Thursday. The Knights will face Hoquiam or Montesano at Centralia High. The winner of that game will play a winner-to-state, loser-out game Saturday.
