"One of the things I really look for is the effort they put forth on the floor and the guys were everywhere," LaBree said. "We have a lot of speed so we try to use that to our advantage."Andrew Price scored 18 points for Blaine, while Gabe Trump had 14. Sehome's Gabe Sanchez recorded 14 points and Konstantin Andrushenko added 12.
