Jun. 13—LA CONNER — The La Conner High School girls' basketball team came out on top Saturday against Ferndale.

Josie Harper scored 20 points, Sarah Cook recorded a double-double and the Braves hobbled the Golden Eagles 69-53 with a stellar performance from the free-throw line.

Cook had 14 points and snagged 12 rebounds, and the Braves — who battled larger schools Burlington-Edison, Lynden and Ferndale in the past week — went 15-of-17 from the free-throw line.

"Once we got into our rhythm, we made some nice plays. Ferndale is a scrappy, hard-nosed team. It was a good challenge for us. Another balanced attack tonight," La Conner coach Scott Novak said.

He said Avery Sloniker was a spark off the bench with seven points, and noted a fierce defensive performance by Rachel Cram, who held Ferndale's leading scorer without a point.
