Rod Turnbull, Athletic Director at Friday Harbor High School, shares this winter playoff update…
On To State! Below is a recap of the post season so far and what lies ahead.
- Wrestling – Our wrestling team just completed their season with three wrestlers participating in the Mat Classic state tournament held this past weekend at the Tacoma Dome. James Guard, (2nd year in a row), Jesse Payne, and Hunter Rustad all earned their way to the tournament by placing in the top four in their weight class the previous week at the regional event held at Adna High School. While our representatives did not place at the state event, they represented our school well and by earning a berth to the tournament meant that all were one of the top 12 wrestlers in the state at their weight class. Visit our league website at http://www.nw1a2bathletics.com/ , for a link to the WIAA website were final state results and brackets can be accessed.
- Girls Basketball – Our girls have qualified for the Regional Round of the State Basketball Tournament for the second year in a row. This means they are one of 16 teams throughout the state at the 2B classification level remaining to play. This is the second year in a row that the girls have qualified for the regional level. The girls did this by being District Champions. To earn the championship, the girls had to defeat Orcas twice, and La Conner twice. They will now host Wahkiakum HS at Mount Vernon High School (the closest approved regional site) this Saturday, February 27. The game is scheduled to begin at 4:00pm. With a win, the girls would move on to the Round of 8 held in Spokane at the Spokane Coliseum on March 3-5. The State bracket can be accessed at http://www.nw1a2bathletics.com/ Use the girls basketball tab to access the playoff information.
- Boys Basketball – Like our girls, our boys were also District Champions, and have qualified for the Regional Round of the State Basketball Tournament. This is also the second year in a row that the boys have qualified for regional level play. Our boys defeated Orcas once, and La Conner twice to earn the honor of District Champions. The boys will now host Ocosta HS, at Mount Vernon High School,(the closest approved regional site), this Saturday, February 27. The game is scheduled for a 2:00pm start. Like the girls, the boys will be trying to earn their way to the Round of 8 also held in Spokane, March 3-5.
