Valley West and Hazleton Area came to Crestwood High School in Mountain Top. Hazleton Area took advantage of a high scoring first quarter as they led 16-12 at the end of 1. Valley West would cut the lead to 3 but Hazleton Area would go on a 16-3 run to lead 34-18 at the half. The Cougars would lead as much as 22 in the third, but Valley West would cut it to 15 at the end of the third. Valley West would dominate in the fourth and would get it as close as 5 but free throws and back to back steals and baskets from Kendra Pfeil gave Hazleton Area a 10 point and would hold on and advance to the District 2 Girls 4A Final by the score of 60-49. Mackenzie Yori had a game high 30 points and Kendra Pfeil added 18 for the Cougars. For the Spartans, Jordan Reilly had 21 points and Erin Gibbons added 11.
Thoughts on the game: Great game by the Cougars' Mackenzie Yori and Kendra Pfeil who not only contributed on the scoresheet but on the defensive side of the ball causing several steals. Great fourth quarter by Valley West, almost pulling off the comeback and great game by Jordan Reilly who scored 21 points and had several rebounds.
