Mount Baker led by only six points entering the fourth quarter, but then the Soares sisters took over to take care of Nooksack Valley 53-32 on Monday at Mount Baker High School.
Senior Jessica Soares and junior Stephanie Soares combined for 24 points and carried the Mountaineers to a 23-point fourth quarter. Jessica finished with 18 points and was a force in the paint with her 6-foot-4 frame.
“They did a good job of pounding the ball inside,” Nooksack Valley coach Shane Wichers said. “Fatigue became an issue for us in the fourth quarter.”
