SPOKANE, Wash. - Quincy Scott scored 12 points, and No. 1 Columbia of Burbank brought home the Class 2B boys basketball championship - finally.

The Coyotes held off Freeman, 47-45, to close out the WIAA state championships Saturday night in the Spokane Arena.

“I’ve been working for this my whole entire life," Scott said. "This team, every single day, this was our prize.”

The Coyotes' defense forcing 18 turnovers was the biggest reason the team built a lead as large as eight points.

Freeman had one final possessions with 3.4 seconds remaining to tie - or win the game. Finn LaPointe lost the ball out of bounds, and Columbia took over with more than a second to go.

The Coyotes threw a long pass downcourt to run out the clock.

After finishing as the runner-up to Colfax a year ago, the Coyotes nabbed their first WIAA championship. It was Freeman's best showing since losing to Lynden Christian in the Class 1A title game in 2018.

Northwest Christian of Colbert 73, Adna 66 (OT): Kaitlyn Waters' bucket in the final seconds of regulation forced overtime, and the Crusaders went on to win their first WIAA champions after a frantic rally.

Northwest Christian trailed 57-50 with 1:30 remaining before scoring eight unanswered points.

The Crusaders made seven free throws in overtime to complete the rally.

"Just crazy, but so cool," Crusaders first-year girls coach Nikki Nelson said. "The girls fought hard for it."

Another Toby steal on the Warriors' next trip led to his two free throws with five seconds remaining, and ACH's final tying 3-pointer was off target.
