YAKIMA – There was no end-to-end buzzer-beater Saturday night for the top-seeded Bremerton boys basketball team.

No, this fourth quarter rally was more of the common variety, but again fueled by Jalen Davis, ranked as Washington's top junior and one of the tops in the country.

Having been limited to 11 points for the first 29 minutes of the game, the reigning tournament MVP took over, keying a 7-0 run to close the game, his free throws in the final seconds securing the 45-43 victory for the Knights over previously unbeaten No. 2 R.A. Long.

With no hint of panic – ‘’it’s just basketball,” Davis said – the Knights went to work.

Davis drove the lane for a finger-roll, and Junior Davis-McWhorter took a cross-court pass from Enoch Taylor off a blocked shot by the Jacks, and drilled a 3-pointer from the left wing to tie the score.

On the ensuing possession, the R.A. Long was whistled for an illegal screen.

Davis then drew the last of the eight fouls that were committed against him, and calmly sank both foul shots with 4.4 second left.

Bremerton had a foul to give and used it on the inbound pass.

R.A. Long, out of timeouts, quickly reset with 2.8 seconds left and Josh Crane launched a 30-plus shot over Davis that hit off the backboard, setting off a Knights celebration.

“We’re like brothers, we’re a brotherhood,” said Davis, who repeated as tournament MVP. “With that we all have a certain role, and know what to do, so we win as a team.”

Davis finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and Aaron Matthews had 12 points for Bremerton (24-2), while Cam Newsom knocked down four 3s and matched Davis for game-high honors with 18, and Jeff Rooklidge added 12 for the Lumberjacks (27-1).

It was the second escape in as many days, following Friday’s mad dash for a buzzer-beating layup by Davis to sink 11th-seeded Columbia River.

Davis repeated as tournament MVP, and Bremerton won back-to-back titles for the first time since 1973 and 1974.
