After Saturday's 60-43 victory over Rapid City Stevens, Washington won its 2nd girls state basketball title in the past three seasons. Entering this year's tournament as the number five seed, no one was quite sure what to expect out of Nate Malchow's team. But all his Warriors did was come out to play.
Over the past six Class "AA" Girls State Tournaments, only once has the top-seeded team gone on to win it all - Washington in 2008.
