The Falcons went cold after lead 14-9 in the first quarter and fell to Gig Harbor (20-3) in the 3A bi-district championship game at Puyallup High School.
“The ball just wouldn’t go in,” Prairie coach Hala Corral said of her team’s 12 points over the last three quarters of the game. “It literally went in and out, in and out. Then you start to press and it just got worse.”
Corral gave credit to Gig Harbor’s defense for shutting down the Falcons (20-4).
Brooke Walling led the Falcons in scoring with 12 points. She averaged 18 points and 9.5 rebounds over the four bi-district tournament games.
