The La Conner High football team was looking to take top-ranked Napavine by storm. But the weather got there first. La Conner’s fast and furious attack, which hadn’t scored less than 53 points in a game all season, had trouble getting untracked on a muddy field deluged by heavy rainfall that struck Western Washington last week.

Finley delivered nine of 10 pressure-packed foul shots down the stretch as La Conner High withstood a 32-point Falcon blitz in the final stanza. Finley finished with 11 points, joining Cameron Sherman and Skylar Krueger in double-digits for the Braves. Sherman scored a...
