A third win over the Vikings would have meant an undefeated season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHalftime saved us,\u201d Terrace head coach Derick Fiske said. \u201cWe adjusted our offense to their defense. Shots started dropping. Isaiah hit two huge 3s to get us rolling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Vikings outscored the Wildcats 32-20 after falling behind 27-18 in the third quarter, Fiske said it was the Terrace defense that won the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDillon Eagan came in and showed how big heart was,\u201d Fiske said. \u201cHe absolutely battled down low. John (Pasalo) and Joplin (Canada) were smothering on defense and forced a lot of turnovers and layups coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYesterday\u2019s championship game didn\u2019t end the way we hoped,\u201d Upper Lake head coach Dani Paige Gudmundson said. \u201cThe third quarter is where it slipped away from us, and we found ourselves down 35-33 heading into the fourth. A tough stretch, turnovers and moments that didn\u2019t go our way ultimately made the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terrace built as much as a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, but Upper Lake got as close as two points with less than a minute to play. The Wildcats had a few seconds left to tie the game trailing 50-47, but a turnover on the inbounds play sealed the Vikings\u2019 big win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIsaiah and Andre hit huge 3s, but we just couldn\u2019t put \u2019em away,\u201d Fiske said. \u201cIsaiah hit huge free throws, and we just scrambled to preserve the win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese boys never stopped fighting and always kept their heads up,\u201d Gudmundsons said of the Wildcats. \u201cIn a tough, physical game, they played hard and they played the right way. I\u2019m incredibly proud of the great, competitive basketball they put on the floor. We\u2019re also lucky to have the best fans around. Always supportive, always classy, and always behind these boys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProbably the best eighth-grade game I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d Fiske said. \u201cI can\u2019t say enough about the team. Privileged to just be a part.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wish more than anything I could have given them that win because they worked so hard and deserved it, but one game does not define this season or this group,\u201d Gudmundson said. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of these boys. Proud of their growth, proud of their fight, proud of their heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cayden Beecher led the Wildcats with a triple-double of 18 points, 10 rebounds and 12 steals while Xielan Florz added 14 points and six rebounds, four assists and six steals. Bennett Guardino had nine points and seven rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada finished with eight points for Terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the game All-League honors were bestowed on Terrace\u2019s Pasalo, Canada and Andre McCloud as well as Upper Lake\u2019s Guardino, Cayden Beecher and Jose Delgado Beecher. Also honored were Anthony Arias and Inteus Lopez of Mountain Vista, Alex Calderon of Obsidian and Ruben Rincon of Middletown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mountain Vista beat Obsidian 45-29 in the third-place game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B-division playoffs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. 1 seed Terrace beat No. 2 seed Middletown 48-35 to the B-level championship game while Mountain Vista defeated Obsidian 47-35 in the third-place game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lakeport middle school teams claim A, B boys championships Lake County Sports on Facebook KELSEYVILLE &gt;&gt; Andre McCloud scored 20 points while Isaiah McCloud added 17, including two clutch free throws with 43.2 seconds left, to help lift the Terrace School Vikings to a 50-47 upset of the Upper Lake Wildcats in the A-level championship [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,79,40,49,45,55,50],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5728"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5728\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5730,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5728\/revisions\/5730"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briansumptersports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
