Vikings Win Rock Fight With Panthers, Advance to First State Trophy Round Since 2016

Posted

SPOKANE — In as ugly as a game as you’ll see in the 1B state tournament, the No. 11 Mossyrock boys basketball team took a win however it could, defeating No. 7 Cusick, 62-51 in a consolation semifinal to clinch a spot in the fourth/sixth-place game Saturday at 9:30 a.m.

The win clinches Mossyrock’s first trophy at state as a program since 2016, when it finished second at the 2B tournament, and just its fourth trophy ever. 

Zack Munoz led the Vikings with 19 points, with Cooper Young adding eight points and 15 rebounds, and Keegan Kolb scoring 12 points to go along with six rebounds. 

The Vikings took 38 free throws, including 24 in the fourth quarter alone, and made just 17 of them. Both teams shot under 35% from the field, and there were 44 combined turnovers between the two squads. 

Cusick was led by Bode Seymour’s game-high 28 points. 

The Vikings will play the winner of Orcas Island and Moses Lake Christian Academy Saturday back at Spokane Arena at 9:30 a.m.
