The Kentwood High baseball team didn’t have the offense Saturday to give it the defense it had been hoping for all season long.
Seeking to defend its state title from a year ago, the Conquerors were derailed by Redmond flamethrower Dylan Davis and the Mustangs 6-0 in a Class 4A state quarterfinal game at Heidelberg Park in Tacoma.
Davis, who was dialing up his fastball into the high 80s and low 90s all afternoon long, allowed just four hits and struck out seven in a complete-game effort. Davis, who will play at powerhouse Oregon State next year and was ranked by Baseball America among the top prep players in the nation, got stronger as the game progressed, too. Six of his seven strikeouts came in the final three innings.

Kentwood High doubles team Tess Manthou and Eliana Spero found out Friday afternoon how big of a difference a week can truly make.
The Kentwood duo played tennis together sparingly during the regular season, but joined forces a little more than a week ago for a postseason run.
That week of practice proved worthwhile for the standout Conquerors.
After taking second at last week's South Puget Sound League tournament, Manthou and Spero took the next step on Friday during the West Central District tournament at Sprinker Recreation Center in Tacoma, knocking off Tahoma's Maddie Turek and Sierra Southworth in the championship match 7-6 (3), 6-1.
Turek and Southworth upended Manthou and Spero just a week earlier, and in relatively easy fashion, 6-1, 6-4.
