Wash Delays Kennedy bid to win Metro title at LaSalle
Washington high coach Bob Fouts used a late quarter offense to derail Kennedy 78 65 for the Metro girls basketball title at LaSalle. Wash built a six point edge early and held on with strong free throw shooting and steady defense, as Deb Franklin led Wash with 25 points and Sue Petersen added 36 in the title tilt. Kennedy’s Mossbarger sisters and Pinckney tried to rally, but foul trouble and turnovers doomed the Cougars.
