| State’s Suhey gives CM girls trouble
Suhey also recorded a double-double, adding 14 rebounds to go with her 34 points. Meanwhile, Central Mountain received an outstanding performance from Mallory Moore who tossed in 23 points and Emily Williams 13. As a team, the Lady Wildcats canned 20-of-50 shots for a decent 40 percent. “We struggle when we don't shoot well," Gentzel explained. “But we did show a lot of fight. There was no excuses, but I will admit five games made it one tough week. The challenge was to play our game, and the kids responded well. They fought hard, and now it's time to rest and get healthy for the playoffs. That's big because Brandt has had the flu, but (tonight) she sucked it up and I was pleased with her effort. It's the same with the rest of the team. Now we can rest up for a couple of days before we have to prepare for the same teams and watch some film and see what we have to do." Central Mountain won the battle of the boards 37-34, with Lauren Dwyer and Courtney Walsh grabbing 10 caroms each while Suhey's 14 rebounds paced the Lady Little Lions.

Doug Smith's Raptors blog
Tic-tac-toe. The Spalding moved creatively. Open shots were swished. And by the end of the night, the Raptors had scored 41 field goals, 31 of which came with assists. Toronto's best offensive weapon, duelling playmakers Jose Calderon and T.J. Ford, combined for 23 of those helpers against just three combined turnovers. And so despite some early nonchalance – and a 12-point first-half lead that was whittled to a four-point advantage at intermission – the Raptors, coming off a home loss to an L.A. Clippers squad they probably should have defeated, turned what should have been a blowout into a certifiable walkover, 105-82. "You can't get much better out of your point guards," said Sam Mitchell, the Toronto coach. "We've just got to continue to do that. You can never pass enough.
