Lady Fishermen win opener, play for state berth Saturday

LONGVIEW — Ilwaco girls basketball coach Ned Bittner got the revenge he was looking for Thursday night. The coach told KJOX FM earlier this week that he was looking for some payback against the Montesano girls team which eliminated his Lady Fishermen two years ago, and Thursday night in Longview he got his wish. The Lady Fishermen won a close district tournament opener 47-45 over Montesano.
The Lady Fishermen will now play Toledo for a guaranteed state berth, this Saturday night at 8 pm at either Mark Morris High (the site of Thursdays game) or Rochester High (depending on how the other teams fare).
If the Lady Fishermen win Saturday they will play for the District title on Saturday Feb. 28, 8 pm at Kelso High School. If they lose Saturdays game they will play Thursday Feb. 26 at 8 pm at Kelso for the right to play in the third place game.
