Carson defeated Washington, 44-42, Thursday night in a City Section Division I semifinal game at Washington High.

Reshanda Gray, the Marine League MVP, converted a free throw to tie the score at 42 with 21 seconds left. Then Carson’s Chante Miles and Brianne Ingram each hit a free throw to lift the Colts.

Washington’s Kiana Furlow went in for a layup with the seconds expiring off the clock, but it was blocked by Carson’s Janitah Iamaleava.

In another semifinal, Narbonne took a 50-47 overtime victory against host Taft.

Carson (21-8) will play Narbonne (22-9) in the City Section championship game on March 6 at 6 p.m. at the Galen Center.
