Manson finished with 18 points on the night to lead Page.

Douglas' coach Clint Hill said afterwards Page was a real good team and they had some good outside shooters that burned the Douglas defense for 10 three-pointers.

The coach said the Sand Devils, comprised mostly of Native Americans, ran the ball a lot.

Coach Hill said the Page gymnasium was also packed with a standing room only crowd. He estimated over 2,000 people were in attendance.

"When they play everybody comes out," he said. "They have good community support."

Coach Hill said his team drew praise from the Page coaches and administrators for their aggressive and never quite attitude.

"They invited us back for their tournament in December," he said.

The coach said he was pleased his girls hustled till the very end despite being down by 30 plus points.

"I think this was a good experience for the girls," he said.

Page will now face No. 5 seed Mingus who on Friday  upset four seed and Gila Region champion Palo Verde 49-47, in the state semifinals.

Raymond Kellis topped Perry 69-65 in the other game and No. 7 Flagstaff upset No. 2 Seton Catholic 66-64.

Kellis and Flagstaff will meet in the other semifinal game.

Looking back on the season coach Hill said his team gave it a good run and the girls have a lot to be proud of.

"We're only losing three players," he said. "We have a good nucleus coming back next year."

Hill said he would like to thank his assistant coaches for all their hard work this past season and the community for its support.

"It was a fun ride," he said.

The Lady Bulldogs finish the year 15-10.
