SPOKANE VALLEY – After losing to St. George's 74-46 Saturday, Feb. 15, Davenport was eliminated from the District 6 2B Boys Basketball Tournament at West Valley High School. The season ending loss left the Gorillas with an overall record of 8-14 and an NE2B-North record of 7-9.
St. George's controlled the game by using its height advantage to overpower Davenport on the glass, which limited the Gorillas scoring opportunities.

The Dragons went on a 12-2 scoring run to open the third quarter. They outscored the Gorillas 27-8 in the quarter to jump to a 59-31 lead as they cruised to the 74-46 win.
Caige Colbert scored 15 points for the Gorillas followed by Lathrop, who scored 13 points.
Tommy Furman, Wagner and McGuire Knopp scored six, five and four points, respectively. Jacob Furman rounded out the Gorillas' scoring with three points.
Shawn Jones paced the Dragons with 21 points followed by Elden Pierce, who scored 18.
