Issaquah 67 Bothell 54

Freshman Ty Gibson poured in a game high 24 points including six three-pointers and senior Nick Price added 22 of his own to lift the Eagles past Bothell and into the 4A KingCo title game next Friday at Juanita.

The win also gives Issaquah one of the two automatic bids to the regional round of the state tournament.

Ryan Sexton added 11 points in the win and helped a pestering defense that forced the Cougars into 16 turnovers.

Perrion Callandret paced Bothell with 23 points.

The Eagles, which took a 34-19 lead into the half, will face Garfield for the league championship next week.

Skyline 38 Roosevelt 39

Skyline lost back-to-back games to in-state competition for the first time this year, falling to Roosevelt in a season-ending loss at the 4A KingCo tournament.

The Spartans had reeled off 10 straight wins and were ranked in the top five by most outlets before the consecutive postseason losses ended the season.
