Samantha Wise had 12 points and 13 rebounds, but some late turnovers hurt La Center’s shot at an upbeat over first-place Castle Rock.
“It was a big battle that came down to the last couple of minutes,” La Center coach Kate Stevens said. “But their age beat out our youth. We committed some turnovers late, and they capitalized.”
