Pomeroy beats Gar/Pal in OT, stays at top

Oakesdale senior guard Austin Rutledge drives the key against Pomeroy in a 68-54 loss.

After a nervous weekend, Pomeroy remains unbeaten in the Southeast 1B league. Garfield/Palouse took them to overtime last Friday night, and Oakesdale pushed them into the fourth quarter Saturday before the Pirates got control.

Now at 12-0, Pomeroy is followed by Waitsburg at 9-3 with a crowd vying for third; Garfield/Palouse, Prescott and Colton, all at 7-5.

Key games this weekend to help decide district seedings include Waitsburg at Pomeroy and Gar/Pal at Colton Friday.
