In a midseason battle between two of Washington’s best 2A girls basketball teams, Washougal controlled the tempo and beat visiting Port Angeles 65-54 on Saturday, Jan. 25.

Washougal High School’s gymnasium was packed with fans and included several scouts from other top 2A teams, traveling from as far as Olympia to analyze the Panthers (13-2 overall, 7-0 2A Greater St. Helens League) and the Rough Riders (12-4 overall), both of whom are expected to be contenders at the 2A Hardwood Classic in March.
