Beyonce Bea and Toryi Midland both had double-doubles as the Panthers advanced to the third-place game in the 2A district tournament.
Washougal will play Mark Morris for the third time this season at 7 p.m. Saturday at Woodland for the final district berth to state.
“We get to play Mark Morris again,” Washougal coach Brian Oberg said. “We are both top-12 state contenders, and one of us will have to go home.”
Bea finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds, and Midland added 11 points and 11 rebounds.
“We needed other girls to step up tonight,” Oberg said. “River’s defense was set up to stop Bea and Mason (Oberg), and that left the high post and the wings open. Toryi hit some shots, and the other girls hit shots from the wing.”
