FHHS postseason – wow! Lots of kids moving on….

Here’s the playoff update from FHHS athletic director & dean of students Rod Turnbull, as of today:

Our spring teams are rapidly approaching the District 1 playoff portion of their seasons. The District 1 Tournament is used to determine the seeding of the 1A teams located in District 1. There are six 1A teams in District 1, (with the exception of Tennis), but they play in 3 different leagues. To determine which teams move forward to the Tri-District tournament we hold a sub-district tournament. While the tournaments look different logistically, because of the sport involved, the outcome is the same. The District 1 (sub-district) tournament determines the number of teams and the order for which they move on to the Tri-District tournament. Below is an update of each fall team’s playoff outline.

• Girls Fastpitch Softball – Our girls fastpitch team has secured the #1 seed into the District 1 tournament. They will play the winner of the Meridian / Nooksack game on Saturday, May 14, at Janicki Fields in Sedro Woolley, 12:00 start. A win would move them on to the Tri-District tournament the following Saturday as the 1st or second seed. A loss and they would need one more win to move on as the # 3 seed. If the girls enter as the # 3 seed, they will play on Tuesday May 17 at a site TBD. For more information including tournament brackets, visit the District 1 website at www.nwdist1.com

• Girls Tennis – Our girls completed District play last. Rebecca Leff won the girls singles title and will enter the Tri-District tournament on May 19 as the NW #1 seed. On Monday, May 16, Hayden Place playing boys singles, Parker Satin & Ryan Cole, and Maddi McPadden & Shanti Nefff-Baro will be playing in a play-in game to move on to the Tri- District tournament on May 19, & 20.

• Baseball – Our baseball team defeated Bellevue Christian on Thursday, May 12, to earn a trip to the state Regional playoffs on Saturday, May 21. They will now play to determine what seed they enter the Region playoffs as. Today, May 13, they play Chimicum HS… a win and they play on Saturday, May 14 at 3:00 for the 1st or 2nd seed. A loss today, and they play at 12:00 on Saturday, for the 3rd or 4th seed. Either game on Saturday will be at Skagit Valley College.

• Boys Soccer – Our boys soccer team completed their season on Thursday, May 5 at Lynden Christian.

• Boys & Girls Golf – Kendra Meeker tied for 1st and Megan Cuomo placed 5th to earn berths at the Tri-District golf tournament next Tuesday, May 19.
