Mount Rainier's foe ran out on an 8-2 run to start the game but the Rams came charging back, two, three times, from big deficits and won an important game in the history of the school, 59-57, over West Valley of Yakima to joyfully take home the fourth place trophy in the WIAA 3A state tournament at Hec Ed Pavillion in Seattle Saturday, March 8.
It is the Rams' best finish since 1971 when they took third place.
Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble.
That's how things flowed for teams playing the Kennedy girls basketball team at the Class 3A state tournament. The Lancers took home the second place trophy.
And how did the Lancers do it?

The definition of spring is when the sun's plane crosses south of the equator allowing a precise minute to be charted for the equinox, but spring itself seems more a state of mind. Since no two minds are alike, then everyone should be allowed to choose their own definition of when spring arrives. I choose today.
Ballard looked especially beautiful, as though a watercolorist or home stager was one step ahead of me adding touches designed to increase curb appeal. How can there be so many varying shades of pink in cherry blossoms? There were rows of primroses, newly planted in just dug dirt. Magnolia buds fuzzy and ready to burst open like milkweed pods. The red twig dogwoods were flaming brighter than any other day and tiny nubs were at the end of every branch.
