Cedar Park Christian Bothell overcame a 9 point first half deficit and explodes in the second half to defeat Vashon 63-52. Nisquallyleague scoring leader Trey Drechsel led all scorers with 32.
Repeated shot clock operation errors led to multiple play stoppages in the first half prevented either team from getting into a rhythm. Ref crew subbed out the operator at halftime. After the break Vashon committed some unforced turnovers and let cedar park back in it. Norton got into early foul trouble and sat a lot of the second half. CPC played team basketball and in the last 4 minutes Ben Anderson save at least 3 would have turnovers including diving and tapping a loose ball down court that turned into a transition layup for Drechsel. Junior David McLaurin had my favorite offensive play of the afternoon with a 360 spin move at full speed to go around a set opponent and lay the ball up. Defensive stops at the end helped CPC to seal it. CPC will be play in the tri-district semifinal Friday. Vashon will face D2 #3 Wednesday in a loser out game.
