Crook County bolted from the gate on the way to a 74-35 victory, ending Baker's season. "They were a lot better team than what we'd seen on film," said Baker coach Tim Smith. "They came out and ran a different defense than what we'd seen, and we didn't adjust quickly enough. "They put a lot of on-ball pressure on us and we didn't handle it well in the first half," Smith said. "We just got outplayed in the first half. The girls were a little bit intimidated." Crook County led 41-15 at halftime. Michelle Freese led Baker with eight points. Marley Robb added seven.
