Victoria Washburn hit from the high post to put King City up 4-2 at the 5:50 mark of the first quarter, but Emma Craig’s three-point play and Mason Cracraft’s drive made it 7-4 in favor of the Shamrocks. Emma Craig hit Rainey Fordyce backdoor to put North Harrison up 11-7 after one.
Kami Gibson got a putback, Olivia Babinski hit Emma Craig inside, and Babinski hit Ashlynn Gilpatrick to make it 18-7 at the 4:51 mark of the second. But then King City switched to a diamond and one on Emma Craig. At first, nothing worked as North Harrison turned back a quick spurt from King City with back to back inside shots from Addie Slaughter to make it 22-11 again. But then Brynan Tunks got the hot hand late in the half, Emma Craig picked up her second foul, and Washburn added a drive to make it 22-17 at halftime.
North Harrison built the lead back up to nine again as Emma Craig started scoring again despite the diamond and one, hitting two free throws after a loose ball recovery, driving after getting a pass from Addie Slaughter, and getting a putback to make it 30-21. But then King City started frantically pressing and pressing after a miss as they got a layup and then Madeline Saunders hit a three at the buzzer after North Harrison tried to hold it for the last shot, but King City got a steal to make it 30-26.
Things got chippy in the fourth quarter. Rainey Fordyce hit Mason Cracraft inside to restore order; then, after being whistled for a foul while trying to trap one of North Harrison’s guards, Washburn slammed the ball down and got a technical foul, sitting for the rest of the game and taking away one of their leading scorers. Emma Craig hit both technical shots to make it 34-26 with 6:48 left.
King City kept coming as Chloe Eiberger got a putback; then, Tunks started driving at will to get her team back into the game. The Wildkats got back to within 36-33, but then, Kami Gibson and Chloe Eiberger got tangled up going after a rebound and Eiberger was whistled for a foul, while Gibson was whistled for a technical. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise for North Harrison with 2:02 left, as Gibson made both her free throws, while Eiberger only made one out of two to make it a two possession lead for North Harrison at 38-34.
King City got the ball back after the technical and had a long possession, taking nearly a minute off the clock as they could not find an opening against North Harrison’s defense.
