Redwoods — which played the game without head coach Justin Mora after he was ejected in this past Saturday’s loss to Butte College — tried to rally late, but Shasta’s early-game flurry from long distance proved to be too much to overcome.
The Knights had nine first-half 3-pointers as they built a 48-34 lead heading into the halftime break.
Shasta finished the game with 13 made treys, with Pomrehn — who was one of five Knights to hit double figures — knocking down four of those.
Redwoods sophomore forward DeAndre Winston scored 14 of his game-high 24 points in the second half. Another sophomore honored before the game, Fortuna native Justin Claus, finished with 18 points and knocked down six of Redwoods’ 12 3-pointers Wednesday night.
CR sophomore forward Loris Hervey had 11 points, while freshman forward Will Ingersoll added 12.
The Corsairs, who dropped two out of their last three regular-season games, finished the 2015-16 campaign with a 13-13 overall record and went 4-6 in GVC play, good for fourth place before Feather River, Butte and Shasta.
