Springville will finish its first trip to the state tournament in the championship game.

The sixth-ranked Orioles went ahead to stay early in the second half and beat No. 2 Lawton-Bronson 60-45 to move into Friday night's Class 1A finals. Springville will take a 24-3 record against unranked Newell-Fonda at 6 p.m.

Newell-Fonda upset No. 1 Dunkerton 81-62 in Wednesday night's other semifinal.

Sarah Davidson scored 12 of her 17 points in the second half to lead Springville. Katie Eiben added 14 points, 13 rebounds and five steals for the Orioles. Teammate Callie Kloubec also scored 15 and grabbed eight rebounds.

Davidson did her part on the boards with nine rebounds, helping Springville to a 46-26 rebounding edge.

Brooke Williams had a strong line for Lawton-Bronson (23-4), putting up 20 points, eight rebounds, four steals and three blocks. Katie Sorensen added 10 points, four steals and three assists for the Eagles.

Springville used a 7-0 run in the third quarter to erase a 27-25 deficit and led the rest of the way. Lawton-Bronson kept hanging around, though, and trailed just 46-42 after Williams sank two free throws with 3:14 left.

Springville then scored the next 11 points to put it away. Davidson fouled out with 2:04 left, but Eiben scored on a putback and sank two free throws to help keep the Orioles in control.
