Red Bluff sophomore Emily Gallagher was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. She was joined on the All-Tournament team by teammates Chelsey Bushnell and Payten McKerras. The Spartans had to knock off the hosts in Saturday's championship game and they did so in a blowout with a 69-46 win. Right from the tip the Lady Spartans were off to the races destroying the Anderson press with lay-ups by Brose. Next the Lady Spartans picked apart the Anderson zone defense as Emily and Katie Gallagher and Bushnell fired in 3-point shots. Red Bluff led 24-10 at the end of the first. Red Bluff pushed its lead to 18 by halftime as McKerras kept Anderson's post play in check on the other end of the court. Brose led all scorers with 13 points. McKerras added 11 points and six rebounds. Allison Winning, Bushnell and both of the Gallaghers each scored eight points. Hannah Scholzen had seven, Samantha Winning added five and Abby Brown got one point. "This was an amazing performance by the entire team," coach Kathy Brandt said. "The players were focused and very fun to watch. We played extremely tough defense and shot 43 percent from the 3-point line and 74 percent from the free throw line. Red Bluff beat league rival West Valley 57-37 in the semifinals as four Spartans reached double-digits. Emily Gallagher had 13 points. Brose and McKerass had 11 each and Bushnell added 10.

Kings acquire Rudy Gay from Toronto (AP) — The trade sending Rudy Gay from the Toronto Raptors to the Sacramento Kings is complete. The teams announced the seven-player deal Monday, less than 24 hours after they reached an agreement. The Raptors received point guard Greivis Vasquez and forwards Patrick Patterson, John Salmons and Chuck Hayes. The Kings also acquired center Aaron Gray and forward Quincy Acy. Gay, Gray and Acy were not scheduled to be in uniform when the Kings hosted Dallas Monday. Their first game will likely be against Utah on Wednesday night in Sacramento. ''We're excited to welcome these additions to our team,'' first-year Kings general manager Pete D'A- lessandro said in a statement. ''In Rudy we've acquired one of the league's proven scorers while Aaron and Quincy provide size and depth in our frontcourt. We also appreciate the contributions and efforts that John, Chuck, Greivis and Patrick made to the Kings organization. We all wish them the very best moving forward.'' The move is the second major one for the Kings already this season as they begin rebuilding under new owner Vivek Ranadive. Sacramento sent Luc Mbah a Moute to Minnesota for Derrick Williams on Nov. 26. This trade will reshape the roster — and the payroll — even more. Gay is making $17.8 million this season. He holds a $19.3 million player option for the 2014-15 season, which he's widely expected to exercise and not test free agency. It's just the kind of financial risk Ranadive has said he's willing to take — and the Maloof family that previously owned the team wouldn't — to try to turn the Kings into a winner. Sacramento (5-13) had lost six straight games until beating the NBA-worst Utah Jazz on Saturday night. The Kings are hoping Gay can provide immediate help while convincing him to stay long term. Gay, who was traded from Memphis to Toronto last season, is in his eighth NBA season. He's averaging 18 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists in his career. The deal also shuffles Sacramento's rotation. Isaiah Thomas will likely start at point guard in Vasquez's place, with Jimmer Fredette and rookie Ray McCallum competing for playing time behind him. For the Raptors, parting ways with Gay gives them future financial flexibility. Of the four players going to Toronto, only Hayes has a deal that extends beyond this season. He's due about $5.9 million next season. The trade is by far the biggest and boldest for firstyear Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri, who worked with D'Alessandro in Denver previously. Toronto (7-12) had lost five straight until beating the Los Angeles Lakers 106-94 on Sunday night, and the franchise is only at the beginning of a rebuilding process that's likely years away from completion.
