The first day of the SunDome Shootout provided for some big individual games, a few nailbiters and the return of a couple key players.
Zillah Makenna Klitzke had the biggest game of the day, pouring in 37 points to lead the second-ranked Leopards to a 76-50 victory against West Valley.
Klitzke connected on three 3-pointers and made 8 of 9 free throws to lead Zillah, which also got 13 points from Bella Valadez and 12 from Addison Johnston.
The Leopards (7-1) are in the main event Tuesday night, facing unbeaten Deer Park (7-0) , ranked No. 2 in 2A, at 6.
The Stags held off No. 5 Selah 56-45 with Jacy Boesel scoring 23 points.
Quincy's Pierce Bierlink scored 26 points in the day's first set of games. The efforts of the Jackrabbits' all-time leading scorer weren't enough in a 57-46 loss to Class 1A No. 7 Fort Vancouver.
Alex Bazan scored 20 to lead Toppenish past Riverside 67-40.
Sharp Young had 21 in La Center's 81-73 over Brewster.
East Valley's Jeramy Garcia put up 34 points for East Valley, but it wasn't enough as the Red Devils fell to King's Way Christian 60-56. Patrick Carray has 29 for the Knights.
Three players in double figures helped perennial 2A power Lynden, which was without Spencer Adams, beat Eisenhower 59-41.
Oliver Pepper poured in 27 points before resting much of the fourth quarter as third-ranked Selah remained unbeaten with a 65-49 victory against Ridgefield.
Dekker Van De Graaf returned after being sidelined with an ankle injuym scoring 8 points in limited minutes to help top-ranked Zillah beat Bainbridge 44-38.
Grandview has guard Frankie Medina back after a leg injury, and he scored 13 points to help the Hounds top Lakewood 71-53.
Lake Stevens rallied from five down in the final minute to force overtime, and then beat Davis 58-55 in the final game of the night.
Action begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday with the final games to tip off at 6.
