Regional round

(winner to quarterfinals, loser to round of 12)

Garfield 62, Meadowdale 48

BELLEVUE — The Meadowdale Mavericks may not have knocked off the top-seeded team in the state Friday night, but they did enough to give themselves confidence heading into Tacoma.

The Garfield Bulldogs received strong all-court games from their stars, and the two-time defending Class 3A high school girls basketball state champions defeated the Mavericks 62-48 in a state regional game at Bellevue College.

Rakiyah Jackson had 21 points and eight rebounds, Sarah Lessig had 14 points, seven boards and four steals, and Katie Fiso had 12 points, six rebounds and four assists for Garfield (20-1), which received a bye into Thursday’s quarterfinals at the Tacoma Dome.

With the loss eighth-seeded Meadowdale (18-7) will play a round-of-12 game Wednesday at the Tacoma Dome. The Mavericks will face the winner of Saturday’s game between ninth-seeded Bonney Lake and 16th-seeded Kennewick.
