SPOKANE VALLEY - After pushing the favored Liberty Lancers to overtime Monday, the Davenport girls team decided to keep its season alive in a big way against the Lind-Ritzville/Sprague Broncos in the District 7 2B Tournament at West Valley High School Wednesday, Feb. 8.

Davenport was determined to not let its season end against the Broncos. After a relatively slow start, the Gorillas applied a sharp full court press that allowed them to go on a 14-0 run and take a 23-10 lead into the second quarter.

That second period was a turnover-infested, sluggish affair on both sides, and Davenport led 30-18 at intermission.

The Gorillas kept up the defensive pressure in the third quarter, expanding its lead to 47-25 by the end of the third quarter and 62-37 by the final buzzer.

Freshman Zoe Galbreath led the Broncos with 11 points and 8 rebounds.

Davenport was led in scoring by Jacoby, who had 15 points and 7 rebounds after notching 21 points two days earlier against Liberty.

"(We've been) having a lot of energy and keeping a positive attitude in the locker room," Jacoby said. "Just figuring out what the defense is and being smart on our passes."

Lathrop added 14 points and 8 rebounds against Lind-Ritzville, while freshman Addie Schneider had 8 points and 6 boards off the bench.

Davenport eliminated the Broncos in the win and would go on to finish fifth in the District Tournament to advance to the District 6/7 Crossover Saturday, Feb. 18.
