In the tightening throes of really rugged competition, Federal Way district high schools emerged with excellence on Saturday, February 10, at the Class 4A West Central District III/Southwest bi-district gymnastics meet held at Federal Way High School.
Puyallup High claimed the championship with 165.75 points to separate itself from WCD's other state qualifying team.
The Federal Way Eagles boys basketball team is not the first seed into the district tournament or even the second from the South Puget Sound League North Division.
But that did not matter, as the third-seeded Eagles just are going to take it one quarter at a time like they did beating the visitor to their gym, Gig Harbor, 76-56 in opening round West Central District 4A action Thursday.
The Eagles sport a fantastic 17-3 overall record.
