Lady Braves win bi-district hoops crown

The girls' basketball team is going back to Spokane. Winners of the Northwest Bi-District title, they were seeded sixth in the 16-team state girls 2B Hardwood Classic. They face No. 3 Napavine in first round regional action this weekend.

The winner advances to the Spokane Arena March 2 against either Davenport, Raymond, Adna or Warden. The loser tips off March 1 opposite Forks or Northwest Christian of Colbert.

La Conner (19-4) enters state action after Coach Joe Harper's team drubbed NWC-Lacey 63-16 last Tuesday and drilled Coupeville 59-35 on Wednesday.

The Lady Braves easily won the opener...
