EIGHT THINGS
1. Methacton 5-foot-11 senior Renee Womack had 26 points, nine rebounds, four steals and three assists. She was 12 for 13 from the foul line. After CR-North took a two-point lead, 23-21, early in the third quarter, Womack scored eight straight points for the unbeaten and second-seeded Warriors (26-0).
2. No. 15 seed CR-North (17-9) had a three-point lead, 26-23, midway through the third quarter and was still within three points, 38-35, with four minutes to go in the game. Methacton sealed the win with a 7-0 run.
3. “The fourth quarter is our quarter,” Womack said. “Even if the game’s not going well, we have to pull it out. It’s do or die.”
4. “It’s a huge win for us,” Methacton coach Craig Kaminski said. “It’s exciting for the team and for the whole school."
5. In the quarterfinals, Methacton will play the winner of Thursday's game between No. 7 Abington (21-4) and No. 23 Boyertown (15-9). The Warriors have qualified for the state tournament. CR-North failed to win at least two district games for only the second time since 1997.
6. Indians sophomore forward Kelly Scull had 14 points, and freshman guard Devin Gold scored 10 points.
7. Kaminski felt that it was unfortunate that the district seedings matched CR-North and Methacton in the second round. "(CR-North) is better than a 15th seed," he said. "They played a tremendous schedule. It’s a shame that one of us had to go home.”
8. CR-North will return four starters next season. "I am excited for the future," said Scull, who earned a starting spot midway through the season. "We got a chance to play together. We had to get our chemistry down. It was hard, but we did it."
