Knights fall in regionals to Annie Wright

TACOMA — A 27-point halftime deficit was too much for No. 6 seed Royal to overcome in Saturday’s 1A regional loss to Annie Wright, as they eventually fell to the Gators 79-51 at Tacoma Community College. The Knights opened the game with back-to-back three-pointers from senior Caden Allred and freshman Grant Wardenaar, but Annie Wright stormed back into the game by capitalizing off of Royal miscues. “They’re a really good team – very clear that they’re a very good team, and their ability to turn us over, rush shots and get long rebounds got them out in front,” Royal Head Coach Greg Jenks said.
