Tigers Adjust, Down 3A Kelso
KELSO — It wasn’t pretty in the first half, but the Tigers got the job done against nonleague 3A foe Kelso here on Monday. Centralia picked up the 47-35 victory — their eleventh of the season — behind 18 points and eight rebounds from Alyx Fast.
“It was a struggle in the first half when they came with their halfcourt trap,” Centralia coach Doug Ashmore said. “We had plenty of opportunities but just couldn’t hit anything.”
The Tigers were 6 of 20 in the first half, but led 7-3 after one quarter and 15-13 at halftime.
“We made some adjustments at halftime and the girls responded,” Ashmore said.
Centralia went on a 15-5 run in the third quarter and held on for the win. Both Madi Crews and Ellie Corwin added 12 points. Crews also had six assists and five rebounds. Corwin posted a double-double by adding 10 rebounds.
“Our bench is also doing a nice job contributing,” Ashmore said. “There’s no drop-off defensively and they do all the little things.”
Centralia (11-6, 1-2 league) plays at Evergreen 2A Conference foe Black Hills on Friday.
