Little Rock Parkview withstood De Queen's push and advanced at the Class 5A girls state basketball tournament Tuesday.

Parkview defeated De Queen 65-47 at Panther Arena behind Kania Lasker's 17 points.

The Lady Patriots (26-3), the 5A-Central Conference's No. 1 seed, will play Alma or Valley View in a quarterfinal game at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Parkview Coach Lahoma Howard's team defeated Pulaski Academy 60-40 in the championship game of the 5A-Central Tournament on Friday at Maumelle. She said she was hoping for a similar game Tuesday, but didn't get it. But she and the Lady Patriots left Columbia County with a victory anyway.

"We wanted to step it up another notch," Howard said. "But we had first-game jitters, a new environment. They started to relax and started to play Patriots ball towards the end."

Sydni Williams also scored 16 points for Parkview, while Morgan Brady had 14 points. Jekalen Jones added 10.

De Queen pulled within 49-41 with 4:01 left on a basket by Ashley Dykes. But the Lady Patriots responded with Brady and Williams, two of their top seniors.

Over the final 4:01, Brady and Williams combined for 10 of Parkview's final 14 points. Consecutive layups by Brady made it 53-43 with 2:57 remaining. After a three-point miss by Abby Dykes, Lasker found Williams for a layup and a 55-43 advantage with 2:20 left.

Williams' layup with 1:10 remaining extended Parkview's lead to 61-44.

Abby Dykes led De Queen (18-12) with a game-high 22 points and five three-pointers. Hanna Murry had 15 points.
