Gracie Meyer scored 13 points for Moscow (7-7, 2-1 4A IEL), which led 24-9 at the end of the first quarter.

Every pass they made was the right pass and every shot they took was a good shot. We settled down and played good basketball after that, and cut the deficit to 11, but just couldn’t get over the hump.”

I thought we played a little better in the third, but St. Maries is a really good team.”
