Prep girls basketball: Marysville-Pilchuck survives second-half surge by Squalicum

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck turned the switch on at the start of the game, but may have accidentally turned it off on the way out from halftime.

The Tomahawks led 32-11 at halftime, dominating every facet of the game from the outside in. M-P’s Morgan Martinis had three 3-pointers in the second quarter and the inside play of Britt Harris — 12 points, six rebounds — was running extremely smooth. M-P had only four turnovers in the first half.

But then everything changed for the Tomahawks.

“Squalicum out-hustled us in the second half and came out really strong, got four offensive boards right away,” M-P head coach Julie Martin said. “It took the wind out of our sails.”

Squalicum began cutting into the lead with precision in the second half. Squalicum made every free throw attempt in the third quarter, going 10-for-10, and cut the lead to 43-30 after outscoring the Tomahawks 19-11 in the third period.

M-P’s Harris was forced to the bench after picking up her third foul early in the third quarter.

“The third quarter we came out and it wasn’t as good as the first half at all,” Martin said. “I knew going into it that they (Squalicum) were a good team, and we knew that if we were up, to not let up, but it didn’t roll over real well.”

Squalicum got to within two points in the third quarter, but was unable to get any closer.
