Given Jackson's advantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 73rd, while Cascade is ranked 284th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jackson's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Ryan Mcferran led the charge by dropping a double-double on 16 points and 22 rebounds.

Another player making a difference was Colby Cooke, who scored 23 points along with six rebounds.
The victory (which was Jackson's third in a row) raised their record to 14-7. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 70.7 points per game.
