Bothell Cougars sophomore Taya Corosdale was unstoppable in the second round of the Class 4A KingCo playoffs against the Eastlake Wolves.

Corosdale scored a game-high 30 points, guiding the Cougars to a 74-53 win against the Eastlake Wolves on Feb. 14 at Redmond High School. The Cougars bolted out to a 21-11 lead in the first quarter of play. Eastlake cut Bothell’s lead to seven points (47-40) with 2:12 left in the third quarter, but wouldn’t get any closer the rest of the way. Bothell head coach Kent Schaefer said the difference in the final 10 minutes of the game came down to executing defensively.

“I felt like in the second half we played really good defense on every possession. They (Eastlake) have got three high quality scorers. We did a good job of keeping track of them in the second half. In the first half we let their shooters loose and didn’t contest their shots,” Schaefer said.

The Issaquah Eagles defeated the Wolves 55-54 in a loser-out game on Feb. 17 at Redmond High School in Redmond.
