ARIMO - Aberdeen moved one win away from qualifying for the state tournament by toppling Grace 68-57 in a loser-out game Friday at Marsh Valley High School.
Grace's season is over. Aberdeen (18-5) faces North Fremont in a play-in game Saturday.
Aberdeen blew open a close game by outscoring Grace 19-10 in the third quarter. That gave Aberdeen a 49-35 lead entering the final period, and the Tigers, who hit 21-of-26 free throws, held off the Grizzlies.
"The third quarter was the difference in the game," Aberdeen coach Quinn Aldous said. "We came out and got on them."
Wade Wahlen scored 17 points to lead Aberdeen, while Aaron Schritter scored 15 and Cody Snyder added 13. Todd Lloyd paced Grace with 15 points.
