GIRLS BASKETBALL
3A State Regionals
Opening round (loser out)
Everett 63, Bishop Blanchet 28
EVERETT — The Everett High School girls basketball team wouldn’t relent.
The Seagulls created havoc all night with their full-court press. At times, it didn’t seem like challenger Bishop Blanchet could even get the ball up the court.
Business as usual for the suffocating Everett defense.
The Seagulls forced a whopping 32 turnovers and junior guard Mae Washington poured in 17 of her game-high 27 points in the third quarter as 12th-seeded Everett ran away with a 63-28 rout of 20th-seeded Bishop Blanchet in a loser-out opening round game of the Class 3A state tournament.
