North Mahaska will get a chance to write a perfect ending to its dream season.

Junior Mallory Boyle led a game-changing run in the third quarter and the top-ranked Warhawks advanced to the Class 1A state championship game with a 46-38 victory over No. 5 West Sioux.

North Mahaska recovered from a frigid start to remain unbeaten through 27 games and will play third-ranked Bedford for the title at 6 p.m. Friday. West Sioux finished 25-2 after playing in the state tournament for the first time.

Boyle led the winners with a strong stat line, putting up 12 points, six rebounds, four steals, three assists and two blocks. Kate Ray added 11 points and eight rebounds for the Warhawks and Hannah Ferguson scored eight.

Dana Weerheim led West Sioux with 13 points. Brooke McManaman scored eight points for the Falcons, Carissa Anderson had seven and Jade Lynn Vlotho added six to go with 10 rebounds.

North Mahaska missed 12 of its first 13 shots and fell behind 11-3 after one quarter. The Warhawks kept West Sioux from pulling away by forcing turnovers and trailed just 17-16 at halftime. West Sioux led 21-19 early in the third quarter when North Mahaska made its move.

Ferguson hit a 3-pointer to put the Warhawks ahead and start a 15-0 run that stretched the lead to 34-21. Boyle was right in the middle of the action during that spurt, scoring six points, assisting on two baskets, making two steals and blocking a shot.

West Sioux recovered to get the lead down to seven by the end of the third quarter, but North Mahaska's Tara Smith converted a three-point play off a steal at the start of the final quarter and the Warhawks were in control the rest of the way.
