MELROSE — You didn’t expect another 20-point blowout, did you?
Melrose’s girls built a six-point lead after one-quarter, then hung on late to edge Logan 47-46 on Friday in the girls District 3-1A tournament championship game.
On Monday night at The Rock in Clovis, the Lady Buffs (17-10) had their way with Logan, winning 63-43 in a tiebreaker for homecourt advantage in the district tournament.
Junior Caley Barnard, held to 10 points on Monday, scored 23 in this one for Melrose while sophomore Taylor Bostwick, coming off a career-high 32 four nights earlier, chipped in 10. Emily Collins and Brooke Rachor led the Lady Longhorns (22-7) with 14 and 11 points, respectively.
