Basketball

Arcadia twins Danielle and Dominique Williams were part of St. Mary’s High School’s national championship basketball team.

Kylie Herd, Gabrielle Evans, Gianna Grumbein and Megan Gillespie received various honors for leading Arcadia to the quarterfinals of the state tournament.

Arcadia’s quest for its first state basketball championship came to an emotional thud Thursday at Grand Canyon University as the Titans fell to Peoria 61-45 in the state Division II semifinals.

And then there were four. Larry Lewis’ 42 points Wednesday night, coupled with big-time plays from the supporting cast, gave Arcadia an 80-67 victory over Tucson Salpointe Catholic and a berth into the Division II state tournament semifinals.

Arcadia bottled up the momentum from their sectional championship victory and unleashed it at Saturday’s second round of the state tournament against Flagstaff.

Arcadia’s season ended Friday with disappointment but not regret after the Lady Titans gave their best before falling 55-50 on the road against Seton Catholic.

After losing three games that went down to the wire, Arcadia fought off the ghosts of games past Wednesday for a 41-37 victory over visiting Queen Creek in the first round of the Division II state championship tournament.

By the time Larry Lewis broke away from the double team and galloped to the rim, the Arcadia faithful knew what was to come. Step over, score, section title.
