The only thing slowing down Kentlake’s Morganne Comstock was Kent-Meridian’s Melanie Vertrees (No. 33). Comstock led the Falcons past the Royals with 21 points.

Morganne Comstock continued to deliver the goods for the Kentlake High girls basketball team Friday afternoon at the ShoWare Center in Kent.

Comstock, a sweet-shooting guard, scored a game-high 21 points, leading the Falcons past Kent-Meridian 53-34 in a South Puget Sound League North Division game.

It was the second straight game Comstock, a junior, has eclipsed the 20-point barrier. Comstock continued to surge on Saturday, pouring in a game-high 20 points in a 68-53 loss to Federal Way.

With the split, the Falcons (8-6 in league, 11-7 overall) clinched one of the North’s five playoff berths.

Against the Royals, Kentlake used a 17-5 second-quarter spurt to put away Kent-Meridian (1-11, 3-11).

Briana Shannon led Kent-Meridian with 9 points.

Kentwood rolls on

The second-ranked Conquerors (13-0, 17-0) remained perfect on Friday, cruising to a 25-7 halftime lead and never looking back in a 46-21 win over Kentridge.

Lindsey Moore led Kentwood with 14 points while Shelby Wahlberg chipped in 10. Danyell Wilson led the Chargers (1-12, 2-15) with six points.

The Conquerors continued to roll on Saturday, this time right over Auburn in a 68-42 victory. Moore scored a game-high 23 points in the win over the Trojans while Courtney Johnson chipped in 14.
