During the regular season, the Arlington girls basketball team beat Snohomish by two points.
But it’s playoff time now.
In the 3A District 1 championship game at Everett Community College last Saturday, Arlington was upset by Snohomish 60-44.
The Eagle girls looked tired playing their third game in three days. Their high-pressure defense just wasn’t in sync as they fell behind 13-2 in the first quarter and never were really in the game.
They could not stop the inside game of Snohomish’s two bigs – Courtney Perry, who had 17 points, and Maya DuChesne, who added 14.
Keira Marsh led the Eagles with 13 points. Allison DeBerry provided a spark off the bench with 8. Josie Stupey also had 8. Other scoring: Hailey Hiatt with 6, with 2 apiece Abby Schwark, Makenzie Gage , Mollie Janousek and Sierra Scheppele, and Jordan Bartlow added 1.
Arlington advanced to the final with a 55-38 win over Edmonds-Woodway Friday.
Trailing 14-6 after one quarter and 26-20 at halftime, Arlington’s defense tightened in the second half, outscoring the visitors 22-3 in the third quarter alone.
Hiatt led the way with 18 points followed by Scheppele with 16. Other scoring: Stupey and Marsh with 6 each; Abbey Hassing 5, Ella Strittmatter 2 and with 1 each Jackie Stupey and Janousek.
To reach that point, top-seeded Arlington tied a school-record with 16 3-pointers on its way to a 62-49 win over No. 8 Meadowdale Thursday.
Scheppele scored 19 points, hitting 5 of 9 3-point attempts, and Hiatt added 16 points. Other scoring: DeBerry 9, Marsh and Hassing 6 each, Makenzie Gage 4 and Josie Stupey 2.
