Todd Beamer Titans

Todd Beamer took control of the contest from the tip scoring in double figures before Skyview could register any points. Nia Alexander and Bria Rice led the charge with turnovers in Skyview’s back-court leading to easy buckets. Skyview eventually cobbled together a response to cut the lead down and give themselves a chance to talk things over at halftime and make a run down the stretch.

The Storm did exactly that by controlling the glass and challenging Beamer’s field goal attempts in the paint. The trio of Ashlee Comastro, Madison Lord, and Riley Friauf willed Skyview within one possession until Nia Alexander put the game on ice. Beamer’s leading scorer buried a three with the shot clock expiring pushing the Titans lead out of reach. Beamer advances to the semis on Friday.

The Final Score
Todd Beamer 40, Skyview 35.

One of the more intriguing matchups in the King Showcase on Monday was between defending 3A champs in Lynnwood and the Todd Beamer Titans. The Royals are firing on all cylinders once again this season and appear to be a front-runner to hoist the hardware once again in March. Beamer has demonstrated their strength among the 4A classification thus far which made Monday an interesting test for where they stand among the best in state.

Nia Alexander led the Titans early and was countered by Mikayla Pivec who netted ten points in the first quarter alone en route to her game-high 21. Beamer’s ability to continue engaging in a shootout with the high-octane Royals was thwarted in the second frame when a 16-2 run assisted in breaking the game open before halftime. Kelsey Rogers’ defensive prowess played an integral role in starting the series of stops that led to transition buckets.

The lopsided score plateaued in the second half as Todd Beamer was only outscored by three points in the final two quarters. Pivec had matched TBHS’ scoring total into the third quarter at 21 points until she was rotated out of the game with a win heavily intact. Jordyn Edwards finished with 11 points and 6 rebounds and Kelsey tallied 9 in the points and rebounds column. Titans center Makenna Woodfolk ended with 9 points and a dozen rebounds. Lynnwood is locked in and will be tough to take down in the final stretch of the season.

The Final Score
Lynnwood 62, Todd Beamer 38.

Top Performers:
Lynnwood
Mikayla Pivec- 21 points, 9 rebounds

Girls- Mount Rainier jumps on Todd Beamer early, wins West Central District Title by 18
By Colin Caruso 

In the 4A Girls West Central District championship game, the Todd Beamer Titans were matched up against the #1 ranked Mount Rainier Rams.  Mount Rainier dominated the first, not allowing a basket until 14 seconds left in the quarter.   Offensively, junior Brittany McPhee was able to completely control the game, leading the Rams with 10 points in the quarter to take a 14-2 lead into the second.

The Beamer offense opened up in the second, scoring nine points and reaching double digits on the game.  Jordan McPhee led all scorers in the quarter with six points on two three pointers, and Mount Rainier took a 13 point lead into the half, 24-11.

Brittany McPhee had another strong quarter in the third, with seven points and two rebounds.  Todd Beamer began to execute better offensively, only turning the ball over twice in the quarter and matching Mount Rainier’s quarter total with 11 points.  Mount Rainier led 35-22 heading into the fourth.

The 11 point lead for the Rams at the end of three was extended to as many as 20 points in the fourth.  Todd Beamer was forced to double team Brittany McPhee, which opened up passing lanes and shooters.  Brittany still scored seven points in the quarter off the double team, and Mount Rainier won the district title 51-33.
