West Seattle came up way short in its Sea-King District tournament championship game Saturday, but is still going on to state.

As the No. 9 state Class 3A seed, the Wildcats received a bye past Tuesday's loser-out opening round.

But they still face a loser-out regional game Saturday, playing Tuesday's winner between Lincoln and Lake Washington at 2 p.m. at Bellevue College.

Saturday's winner advances to play a 2 p.m. loser-out game at the Tacoma Dome the following Wednesday.

Wednesday's winner plays in a Thursday state quarterfinal.
