Wrangell girls, Cordova boys capture Rally the Regions titles

The Wrangell Wolves had to win a 3-point shooting contest Friday night to earn their way into Saturday’s girls championship game at the Rally the Regions Hardwood Classic, and the Wolves used that momentum to win the tournament title.

Kaylyn Easterly scored 23 points and Helen Decker had 17 to lead Wrangell past Cordova 51-41 in the title game at Dimond High. Both players were instrumental in a 22-point fourth quarter that carried the Wolves.

In the boys championship, Cordova stopped Haines 54-46 behind 13 points from Billy Bailey and 10 from Kaiden Graves. Carson Craiger and Kirby Faverty scored 12 points apiece for Haines.

The victory by the Wrangell girls avenged an earlier 10-point tournament loss to Cordova. With that win, Cordova moved into the title game with a 3-0 round-robin record. The loss left Wrangell tied with Scammon Bay with 2-1 tournament records, setting up a Friday night 3-point shooting contest to decide who would face Cordova in the championship.

With Maddy Harding shooting and Decker rebounding during the one-minute showdown, the Wolves sank seven triples to Scammon Bay’s two to win the unique tiebreaker.
