Woodland 61, R.A. Long 59 — Tanner Huddleston’s sixth 3-pointer, with 12 seconds left, stopped a long league losing streak for the Beavers.

Huddleston, who finished with 21 points, had four of his 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. The go-ahead basket was a contested shot from well behind the 3-point line, according to Woodland coach Aaron Shepherd.

R.A. Long missed a close-range shot, then Woodland added a free throw with less than two seconds on the clock for the final margin. The Class 2A Greater St. Helens League win stopped a 13-game league losing streak for the Beavers.
