NINE THINGS
1. No. 11 seed Downingtown West (18-7) pulled off its second straight upset in the District One Class AAAA tournament. The Whippets played very well and led for most of the game. They were up by four, 21-17, at halftime and by seven, 29-22, late in the third quarter. No. 3 seed CR-North (22-3) tied the game, 29-29, with a 7-0 run and was still tied with 2:57 to go in the fourth quarter, 40-40. But CR-North never did have a lead after the 5:24 mark of the third quarter.
2. “I turned around at one point and said, ‘We can’t get over the hump,’” CR-North coach Lou Palkovics said. "We didn't play well as a group. Our offense was stagnant."
3. Forward Amanda Donia led the Whippets with 23 points and hit nine of 10 free throws in the last 2:52 of the game.
4. CR-North junior Sarah Kiely had 15 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and two assists despite missing about four minutes with a turned ankle during an important stretch at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth.
5. Downingtown West faces No. 2 Downingtown East (23-2) in the semifinals on Wednesday. CR-North (22-3), which has already qualified for the state tournament, plays in a playback game on Wednesday.
6. “It’s very disappointing,” Kiely said. “I thought we could get to the district championship. I thought we could make a run.”
7. “Downingtown seemed to know everything we were going to do,” Kiely said. “On offense, we were stagnant. On defense, we could have been better.”
8. "(Kate) Logan was on. She made some big shots," Kiely said. "Besides that, our shots weren't falling. They were hitting the front of the rim. They were hitting the back of the rim."
9. Downingtown West has won 10 of its last 12 games. The Whippets have allowed more than 50 points only once all season.
