A day after a shocking setback, Kentridge recovered Friday to stay alive for some chrome at the 4A Hardwood Classic.<\/p>\n

Jordyn Jenkins, a 6-foot-2 sophomore, scored a game-high 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds as the Chargers (25-3) pulled away from Camas in the second half of their elimination-round game to deliver a 60-44 win at the Tacoma Dome.<\/p>\n

The No. 3 Chargers, who were upset by Woodinville in an overtime quarterfinal battle Thursday, plays a familiar foe – North Puget Sound League Cascade Division rival Kentlake (21-8) – for the fourth-place trophy at 8 a.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

Kentridge defeated Kentlake 55-44 in last year’s state quarterfinals and twice again this past regular season – 38-33 on Dec. 16 and 50-38 on Jan. 19.<\/p>\n

Guard Tresai McCarver scored 13 points and distributed five assists, and 6-4 junior forward Jaquaya Miller finished with 10 points, six rebounds and four steals for Kentridge, which shot nearly 52 percent from the field for the game.<\/p>\n

Morgan Gary had eight points, five rebounds and three assists. Dayla Ballena scored six points and had three steals.<\/p>\n

Courtney Clemmer paced the Papersmakers (17-10) with 14 points.<\/p>\n

Kentridge trailed 29-23 at the half before going on a 23-11 run in the third quarter to grab 46-40 lead entering the fourth quarter. Kentridge held Camas to four points in the final period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
