YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) -- Michael Greene led four Squalicum players in double figures with 24 points, and the Storm beat Burlington-Edison 67-63 on Saturday to claim its second straight Class 2A boys state championship.
The Storm, who beat B-E 60-49 for the 2009 title, finished 26-1 in each of the last two years. It was the third time the Storm has beaten the Tigers (22-5) this year.
Though its long-range shooting was absent in the title game -- Squalicum made just 3 of 19 3-point attempts a night after hitting 12 3s in the semifinals against Ephrata -- the Storm worked the ball inside to Greene and Christopher Qualls, who finished with 11 points.
Derek Dickerson, the tournament's MVP, and Patrick Voeut, an all-tourney selection, also scored 11 points each for Squalicum.
B-E was led by all-tourney pick Evan Coulter, who scored 25 points.
