SPOKANE -- Mark Wilson scored 19 points, grabbed eight boards and had four steals as Liberty Christian built a 20-15 halftime lead and held on to eliminate Quilcene 52-34 in consolation play of the boys 2B state tournament.
"Our defense tightened up and that's when we got most of our steals," LC coach Terry Watson said of the fourth quarter, when the Patriots outscored their opponents 21-9.
Joey Lane added 10 points and eight rebounds for the Patriots, who will play for fifth, and Derek Stratton provided five points and four steals.
"We get to play for hardware tomorrow," Wilson said. "Getting hardware three years in a row is good for the program."
