Ward, Shortt finish in seventh place at 4A level, Arlington program takes step forward
LAKEWOOD — It may have taken longer, but that made the Lady Cougars’ first win all the sweeter Feb. 19 against South Whidbey.
Lakewood entered the game 0-19 with one final chance to get a first victory, and they did with a 50-40 win in a Cascade Conference game.
With the score tied at 11-11 after the first quarter, Lakewood did something it had yet to do this season, hold an opponent to just single digits in a quarter, as the Cougars went on a 15-3 run that was sparked by junior Jordan Wessell’s three-point play.
Lakewood senior Keely Caldwell had a rough road to third place.
Ranked nationally in the top 10, the Lakewood 125-pounder suffered an opening-round defeat before pinning her way to the podium.
“It feels like first,” said Caldwell. “This is the best I’ve ever done.”
Caldwell trailed Kennewick’s Hanna Moon 7-4 in the second round before pulling out a pin.
