Game 1 Summary: REDMOND (From the Eastside Journal) -- The Redmond girls basketball team opened the new season in style on Monday night. The first basketball game in the new Mustangs gym will go in the books as a convincing 68-36 win against Seattle Prep, last year's Class 3A state runner-up. Senior post Claire Pallansch led all scorers, with a double-double for 20 points and 17 rebounds, to pace the Mustangs. ``We always enjoy playing against a great team,'' Pallansch said. ``It's always going to be a fight.'' But Redmond's defensive press from the start made the game a one-sided affair quickly as the Mustangs opened with a 26-8 first quarter and then held the Panthers to four points in the second quarter for a 37-12 halftime lead. ``We been working on fundamentals,'' Pallansch said. ``We have been putting a lot of time in and it showed on the court.'' Pallansch, guards MacKenzie Flynn and Rachel Gillum, are the returning starters for the defending 4A Kingco champions. Flynn and sophomore Colleen Betteridge added 13 points each for Redmond. Flynn also had five assists and six steals in the game. Mustang coach Pat Bangasser was pleased ``It was a good team win,'' Bangasser said. ``Claire was pretty impressive. ... But we passed the ball well, we rebounded well.'' Eight different Redmond players scored at least a point during the game. ``I thought we were really unselfish,'' Bangasser said. ``We played with the intensity that we needed to play.'' With a 54-20 lead after three quarters, the Mustangs eased up a little bit on the pressure and cleared the bench. Freshman Jasmine Williams led the Panthers with 10 points and senior Laura Thramer added eight points. ``We kept the intensity throughout the game,'' Bangasser said. ``I say that's a good start for us.''

Flynn and Claire Pallansch each scored 20 points for Redmond. The Mustangs led 17-14 after the first quarter, but held the Vikings to just six points in the second and third quarters. Flynn's assist total surpasses the old record of 13 set last season by Ashley Graham. Redmond improved to 1-0 in league and 2-0 overall. Inglemoor falls to 0-1, 1-2.

That was before tip-off. Sure, the midseason meeting gave both the Mustangs and Bulldogs the opportunity to measure themselves, to see exactly where they stand. But by the time Redmond held on to beat Garfield 53-52 in a thriller that had a little bit of everything, it was clear this one was a lot more emotional than the word litmus suggests.``This was a huge win for us,'' said Mustangs junior point guard Mackenzie Flynn, who scored seven of her 12 points in the fourth quarter. ``This game was huge.'' Added senior post Claire Pallansch, ``We wanted to prove ourselves.'' Redmond (4-0 Kingco 4A, 8-0 overall) took the lead early, led by as many as 13 in the first half and stayed on top until Malia O'Neal's reverse-pivot 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer pulled Garfield into a 34-all tie. But the Mustangs regrouped, opening the fourth with a 13-2 run. Sophomore Erika Edwards had seven of her team-high 16 points during the spurt. ``It was the beginning of a new quarter,'' Flynn said. ``We huddled up and I said, `It's zero-zero. Let's set the tempo again.'''Redmond did, and never trailed again. But the Mustangs weren't home free after the blistering start to the final period. They went 6-for-8 at the free-throw line in the final minute, just enough to survive O'Neal's final burst. The Bulldogs' junior dynamo had 12 points over the last 1:39 (5-for-5 from the field, one free throw). Garfield coach Joyce Walker said her team was undone by a poor first half, what she called the worst half played by any team she has ever coached. The Bulldogs shot 4-for-30 (13 percent) during the first two quarters, including a stretch of more than 13 minutes that produced one field goal. Even though a 23-point third quarter, capped by O'Neal's game-tying 3-pointer, pulled Garfield (3-1, 6-2) even, the Bulldogs, at that point, were spent. ``The problem with that is, when you dig yourself that big of a hole, you use everything you've got to catch up,'' Walker said. ``We weren't ready to play from the start. We tried to do too much by ourselves instead of getting everyone involved.'' It was a tale of two halves for O'Neal. She scored three points in the first half on 1-for-8 shooting, but rebounded with 21 over the final two quarters on 8-for-11 accuracy. ``I thought we had enough to win,'' O'Neal said. ``We have to be more mentally prepared to play early.'' Garfield trailed 53-50 with 3.3 seconds remaining. Ashley Knight inbounded to Jamila Bates, who tried, but couldn't get the ball to a well-guarded O'Neal. Bates wound up hitting a two-point shot at the buzzer, leaving the Bulldogs one point short. Bangasser praised his team's poise, especially for taking back control of the game early in the fourth quarter. ``I thought we were tough,'' said Bangasser, who, in his fifth year, is now four wins shy of 100 (96-24). ``Nobody really got rattled.''Tanna Radtke, Flynn and Colleen Betteridge all spent time guarding O'Neal. It was Bangasser's plan to keep somebody fresh on the Garfield star. ``We wanted to keep her from penetrating into the middle and we wanted her to shoot her outside shot,'' Flynn said. Pallansch added nine points and 13 rebounds, and Rachel Gillum scored 10 points for Redmond. Samantha Tinned had 10 points and nine rebounds, and Ashley Knight had eight points and nine rebounds for the Bulldogs. Redmond has won eight of 10 in the rivalry since the beginning of the 2000-01 season, when Walker returned to coach her alma mater. In the 10 games, the winner's average margin of victory is three points. ``It was a great atmosphere,'' Bangasser said. ``It was fun, a great game.'' Walker couldn't wait for another opportunity. ``You know we're going to do this again,'' she said Redmond - Petrie 2, Gillum 10, West 1, Pallansch 9, Radtke 3, Flynn 10, Betteridge 2, Edwards 16. Garfield - Bates 2, Pringle 4, Brooks, Sherrod 4, Tinned S 10, Knight 8, O'Neal 24, Lewis.

Flynn made three 3-pointers as Redmond (5-0, 9-0) outscored the Cougars 19-8 in the first quarter. Claire Pallansch added 13 points for the Mustangs. Julie Zubovic scored 12 points and Anna Denny had 12 for Bothell (1-3, 4-4). Redmond - Petrie 5, Gillum 2, West, Pallansch 13, Radtke 6, Flynn 19, Betteridge 2, Olson 5, Edwards 9.

Claire Pallansch and Mackenzie Flynn both scored 17 points for Redmond, while Tanna Radtke added 13. As a team, the Mustangs shot 24-for-52 (46 percent) from the field. ``They just played a totally solid game in all facets,'' Woodinville coach Mike Cooney said. ``They are well coached, they move well together.'' Redmond had a 38-19 halftime lead. Danielle Everett's nine points paced Woodinville. ``We just have to hang in there and get better,'' Cooney said that he told his team afterwards. Redmond - Petrie 2, Gillum 6, West 4, Pallansch 17 , Radtke 13 , Flynn 17, Betteridge 5, Olson 2, Edwards 8.

Redmond 18 20 20 16 - 74 Woodinville 6 13 2 5 - 26 Return to Top or Mustangs Home Page Game 11 Summary: SEATTLE (From the Eastside Journal) -- Mackenzie Flynn scored nine of Redmond's 11 first-quarter points before the Mustangs (11-0) ran away from the Falcons (6-4). Flynn finished with 20 points, six assists and three steals, but Redmond only led 27-24 at halftime. ``She kept us in it,'' Mustangs coach Pat Bangasser said. ``We were in a Monday morning funk even though it was Monday afternoon. We walked in here a little bit cold and a little bit flat, but I thought we adjusted well in the second half.'' All that changed in the third quarter, though, when Erika Edwards went on a personal 7-0 run to close out the quarter and give Redmond a 40-29 lead. Edwards finished with 14 points. Kentlake also began struggling from the field and went 10:58 without a field goal. Over that span Redmond outscored the Falcons 25-5 and put the game away. Claire Pallansch also scored 15 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked three shots for Redmond which entered the game holding opponents to 26.5 percent shooting. Kentlake's Allyson Sievers scored 13 of her team-high 18 points in the first half. Redmond - Petrie 3, Gillum 2, West, Pallansch 14, Radtke 2, Flynn 20, Olson, Edwards 14, Leuning 2.

Bangasser won his 100th game in his fifth year at Redmond. His career record is 100-24. The Mustangs have placed at the state tournament every year during Bangasser's tenure. Claire Pallansch, Rachel Gillum and Mackenzie Flynn each had 14 points for Redmond. Pallansch also grabbed 10 rebounds.

Then the unbeaten, No. 2 Mustangs took control. Redmond (8-0, 13-0) turned a six-point deficit into a 43-29 lead with a 20-0 run in the third quarter. Erika Edwards scored all 10 of her points during the spurt. ``We were getting out rebounded big-time and we weren't running our offense,'' said point guard Mackenzie Flynn, who scored 11 of her game-high 19 points in the second half. The Mustangs came out to start the third-quarter in a full-court trap, a move that put the pace of the game to their liking and created easy buckets. Claire Pallansch added 16 points for Redmond, which, as one of the state's top programs every year, often has a target on its back. ``We know every team is out to get us,'' Flynn said. ``We have to come out strong. We love to play the game, so we should come out pumped up every game.'' Stephanie Senescall scored 13 of her team-high 18 points in the first half as Inglemoor (3-5, 7-6) led 27-23 at the break. Senescall was held scoreless in the third quarter, and didn't score a second-half basket until a 3-pointer with 2:18 remaining in the game. Redmond - Petrie, Gillum 5, West 5, Pallansch 16, Radtke 3, Flynn 19, Betteridge 2, Edwards 10. Inglemoor - Brace 7, Baumgartner, Griffin, Brown 7, Choi, Senescall 18, Royce 4, Holt 9, Augustavo. Redmond 14 9 25 12 - 60 Inglemoor 13 14 10 8 - 45 Return to Top or Mustangs Home Page Game 14 Summary: REDMOND (From the Eastside Journal) -- In a game that was decided by inside play, the Redmond girls basketball team proved to have the biggest paint presence. Mustangs center Claire Pallansch scored 15 points, grabbed 19 rebounds and blocked five shots in Redmond's 62-53 win over Lake Washington in a 4A Kingco girls basketball game Saturday. Forward Erika Edwards led the Mustangs with 17 points and also grabbed 15 rebounds. All told, Redmond snared 23 offensive rebounds and earned 16 second-chance points. ``We knew they were a real physical team and right off they were showing us their presence,'' Pallansch said. ``So we just had to fight back and crash the boards. We just matched their level of intensity.'' The Mustangs are 9-0 in league play, 14-0 overall and lead the Lake Division. The Kangaroos fall to 5-3, 10-4 and are in second place in the Mountain Division. Lake Washington started strong with a 9-2 run to open the game, but the Redmond outscored the Kangaroos 18-4 in the second quarter to take control. Tanna Radtke scored all seven of her points in that quarter and Edwards scored nine points in the third quarter to help the Mustangs open up a 44-25 lead. Over that two-quarter stretch the Kangaroos shot 4-for-22 from the field, but they were able to rally in the fourth quarter. Lake Washington doubled its offensive output of the first three quarters by scoring 27 points, but Redmond held the Kangaroos off by shooting 12-for-17 from the free-throw line. Sara Dennehy scored 17 points to lead the Kangaroos while Claire Fox chipped in 15 points and Anne Phippard scored 10. ``I think the first thing we take away from this is that we didn't fold and we didn't give up,'' Lake Washington coach Steve Lowe said. ``I thought we did a good job of fighting back. When you're down 20 you can easily fold up the tent and go home.'' Redmond also got Alex Tosti on the court for the first time this season. The 5-foot-10 senior sat out the last six months with a stress fracture in her lower back. She returned to practice 12 days ago playing with a large brace and received loud ovations upon her entry into the game and when she buried a 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter. ``The kids said it was an adrenaline rush when she got right in, got a hoop and made her presence known,'' Redmond head coach Pat Bangasser said. ``She's been very patient. It's not very fun to sit for six months and watch your team do what you love to do every day.'' ``It was just one of those indescribable feelings,'' Tosti said of stepping back on the floor. ``All throughout this I've had a ton of people's support. It was awesome.'' Point guard Mackenzie Flynn also had 12 points, six assists and four steals for the Mustangs.

Erika Edwards contributed with two points and 14 rebounds and Mackenzie Flynn added 12 points, seven assists, and six steals for Redmond.

For Roosevelt's girls basketball players, it was something better: a win against the state's No. 1 team. The 10th-ranked Roughriders went to Rieger Gymnasium Wednesday night and walked out with a convincing 78-61 victory over the Mustangs in a 4A Kingco Conference game. ``What a terrific game,'' Roosevelt coach Bill Resler said. ``Our defense was very intense. The theme this year is a pack of wolves. They certainly were tonight.'' The Roughriders forced 28 turnovers and held Redmond's potent offense to 35 percent shooting (18-for-52). Offensively, Roosevelt (9-1 Mountain Division, 14-2 overall) got a huge game from 6-foot senior Breianna Gaines, who scored 28 points. It was Gaines' first game against the Mustangs. She transferred from Vancouver, B.C., last season and played junior varsity. She missed a practice, however, and was held out of last season's JV game against Redmond. Wednesday, Gaines was determined put her stamp on one of the state's best rivalries. Mission accomplished. Gaines scored 15 points in the third quarter, including a hat trick of three-point plays, as Roosevelt used a 21-4 run to build a 22-point lead-- their biggest of the night-- at 54-32. ``We were ready, calm and pumped up,'' said Gaines, who scored a conventional three-point play, a 3-pointer from long range and went 3-for-3 after she was fouled on a 3-point shot in the quarter. ``After the first half, we knew it was our game.'' The Mustangs used full-court pressure and responded with a 12-1 run to get back into the game. They kept pushing and closed to within seven at 59-52 with five minutes to go on two free throws by Rachel Gillum. But Roosevelt's Darnellia Russell cut to the basket, took a pass from Maggie Torrance and converted a basket and a free throw for a 3-point play. On the Roughriders' next possession, Gaines buried a 3-pointer from the corner to put the game away. Russell, who finished with 17 points, improved to 7-3 in her career against Redmond. ``It's still as good to beat them,'' Russell said. ``We had a lot of intensity and a lot of fouls, but I thought we were able to calm down at the right time.'' Prior to the game, Resler was optimistic about a strong performance from his team. He said Roosevelt was determined to have fun, enjoy the big game. After being outrebounded 12-3 in the first quarter, the Roughriders matched taller Redmond in rebounds the rest of the way (24 apiece). Roosevelt also received strong play from its bench as the reserves scored 18 points.It was a tough night for the Mustangs (10-1 Lake Division, 15-1 overall). Their 27-game regular-season league winning streak was snapped. It was their first double-digit loss since a 16-point setback to Central Valley in the 2002 state quarterfinals.Redmond also lost to Roosevelt for the seventh time in eight games and 13th out of 17 since the 1997-98 season. ``They outplayed us and outhustled us,'' Mustangs coach Pat Bangasser said. ``They shot the ball well, but it seemed like they got all of the loose balls. ``We had a lack of energy, and there was no reason for us to be flat.'' The Mustangs' downfall began in the second quarter, when Roosevelt closed the half on a 10-1 run to grab an eight-point lead.Junior point guard Mackenzie Flynn, who paced Redmond with 16 points, agreed with her coach's assessment. ``For whatever reason, we didn't have as much energy as them,'' she said. ``There are no excuses. Our defense wasn't that great and they got a lot of hustle points. They kind of blew us out of the water in the second quarter.'' Erika Edwards added 14 points and Rachel Gillum had 10 for the Mustangs, who dropped into a division tie with Garfield. The two teams play at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Redmond. ``You learn from losses,'' Flynn said. ``Sometimes they're needed. We need to make sure we run our offense.''

Sam's on fire.'' Walker couldn't have been more accurate. Someone should have called the fire department. Sam, or Samantha Tinned, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, torched the nets for 29 points on 14-for-18 shooting to lead the seventh-ranked Bulldogs to a 65-53 victory over top-ranked Redmond in a key 4A Kingco Conference game Friday night. With the victory, Garfield (12-1 league, 16-2 overall) essentially wrapped up first place in the Lake Division. Redmond drops to 10-2, 15-2. Division winners are rewarded with two home playoff games in the league tournament. It was the Mustangs' second double-digit home defeat this week following a 78-61 setback to Roosevelt on Wednesday. ``I don't want to say that they were unstoppable, but we didn't stop them,'' said Redmond coach Pat Bangasser. ``They scored a lot inside.'' Garfield grabbed the lead for good midway through the first quarter, led by as many as 16 late in the third and never had less than an eight-point lead the rest of the way. Tinned, who made her final eight shots, led the Bulldogs' bull's-eye marksmanship. Garfield shot 56.8 percent (25-for-44) for the game, 70.4 perent over the final three quarters (19-for-25) and didn't miss from the field in the fourth quarter (6-for-6). ``We had a great week of practice,'' Walker said. ``We're starting to peak at the right time.'' Walker said Tinned has gotten better the past few weeks, that she has put in extra time on the court. ``She is ready to be one of our leaders,'' Walker said. Tinned, who showed steady poise around the basket, scored from an array of angles in the paint. She also did well to get position early, which led to several point-blank attempts. ``Our team motto tonight was not to be denied,'' Tinned said. ``I knew everything I did was to help the team. That's what I wanted to do.'' Malia O'Neal contributed a fine floor game for Garfield. The junior point guard scored 20 points, was the key to breaking Redmond's full-court pressure and settled her team's offense. The Mustangs were plagued early by turnovers (they finished with 20) and throughout by poor shooting. Redmond shot 32.7 percent (18-for-55). Even as Garfield missed eight free throws in the fourth quarter, the Mustangs were unable to take advantage. They missed six of their final eight shots from the field. Redmond also missed seven free throws in the final eight minutes. ``We missed a lot of shots, free throws, in the paint, around the basket,'' Bangasser said. ``We had some good looks.'' Walker said the key to the game was her team's ability to cover Redmond's shooters. ``We never let them get on track,'' Walker said. ``If you let them stand out there and get going, you might as well go home.'' Tinned's view wasn't as technical. ``More intensity,'' she said. Claire Pallansch led the Mustangs with 16 points, and Mackenzie Flynn added 14 and Erika Edwards 10. Despite two difficult setbacks in a three-day span, Bangasser, whose team's have placed at state four consecutive years, is confident his team will bounce back. ``Our energy was better tonight,'' he said. ``There was no quit. We're not going anywhere.'' Garfield - Bates 4, Pringle 2, Simpson, Tinned S 29, Knight 9, O'Neal 20, Williams 1.
