Some high-school girls basketball highlights from Wednesday
One upset stood out when I checked the the high-school girls basketball games played Wednesday night.
Eastlake knocked off No. 10 Inglemoor to advance to the semifinals of the KingCo 4A tournament. The Wolves now play Skyline Saturday with a trip to regionals on the line. Inglemoor, which took No. 6 Woodinville to overtime before losing last Saturday, must now win three straight to qualify for regionals.
Woodinville and Issaquah play in the other semifinal Saturday. Woodinville took a step closer to regionals by beating Newport, avenging its only in-state loss. Issaquah downed Roosevelt.
Here are highlights from those games, as well as the others reported to The Times Wednesday:
