Marriotts Ridge 45, Reservoir 39:

As the intensity rose in the final 30 seconds, Marriotts Ridge sophomore Jaden Washington remained calm. Despite playing substantia­l minutes as a freshman, Washington wasn’t fazed by the big moment.

The young point guard stepped up to the line in a one-and-one situation with 27.1 seconds remaining and a two-point lead. Washington missed a pair of foul shots earlier in the period and the Mustangs as a team were 3-of-12 at the line.

That didn’t matter this time. Washington calmly and confidentl­y knocked down two shots, extending the Mustangs’ lead to four.

She wasn’t done. Washington added three more throws down the stretch, scoring nine of her 13 points in the fourth, a key part in Marriotts Ridge sealing a 45-39 win over Reservoir.

“Every time I get the ball it’s a new thing,” Washington said. “I just don’t really pay attention to the mistakes and I really just try to keep looking for different opportunit­ies that can help my team.”

Sophomore Shelby Lewis and senior Caroline Sloop had double-doubles and host Mount de Sales went on an extended early run on the way to a 48-35 victory over Maryvale Prep on Wednesday.

Lewis finished with 21 points and 14 rebounds and Sloop had 12 points and 13 rebounds to lead the winners. Nola McCormick led Maryvale with 10 points.

The Sailors were coached by assistant Mike Tirocchi, who found out head coach Trish Armstrong was out with an illness at 2 p.m. on game day.

“It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, was to sit here and take a team that wasn’t my team,” Tirocchi said.
