Valada added six assists without a turnover and cracked the 400-point mark for her career, while McCallum hit 300 career points and added four assists and three steals.
“Those were big nights for them and that leaves a legacy,” Karnofski said. “They’ve had a great career so far and they’re not finished yet.”

“We were there in the first quarter and then they went on a little run,” said Centralia coach Doug Ashmore. “We lost the Mia (Flores) girl a couple times late in the second quarter and then (River), one of their top players hit a three to go out ahead and we couldn’t ever catch up from there.”
