From our news partner, The Seattle Times:

LYNNWOOD — Brianne Lasconia tried to stay focused.

All she could think about was facing Glacier Peak in the Class 3A Northwest District title game Saturday night for the second year in a row and how Shorecrest was trying to sweep the Grizzlies this season.

Facing the same situation last year, Shorecrest fell short.

Lasconia and the Scots made this experience more memorable.

Lasconia scored 23 points, including 10 in the pivotal fourth quarter, as Shorecrest defeated Glacier Peak, 63-51.

The victory left the No. 10-ranked Scots cutting down the nets at Lynnwood and preparing for a trip to the 3A regionals.
