Going in, few gave La Conner much of a shot in its rematch with undefeated NW2B leader Friday Harbor last weekend.
Turns out, it wasn’t shots that mattered for the most part.
It was rebounding and de-fense.
And on those twin scores, the Braves were clear winners in a gritty 46-43 upset triumph before a large and enthusiastic home crowd at Landy James Gym on Friday.
With the win, La Conner improved to 16-3 overall and avenged an earlier 52-37 loss to the Wolverines, and by virtue of a prior coin flip reclaimed the league’s top seed going into the regular season’s final week.
