The North Beach boys and girls basketball teams try to keep their seasons alive, tomorrow. Each must win, to continue in the post-season quest for the State tournament. Saturday’s start times:

Girls: 1 p.m., District 2B Tournament at Centralia: North Beach vs. Naselle.

Boys: 4 p.m., District 2B Tournament at Rochester: North Beach vs. White Pass.

Jennifer Law’s next match is at 5:52 p.m. today, vs Seini Anau, of Mt. Tahoma.

Dominic Deibel wrestles at 4:50 p.m., Anthony Tignino at 5:10 p.m., Robert Buck at 7:30 p.m. and Sawyer Reed at 8:30 p.m. All of those four must win to stay in the tournament.

Dominic Deibel, Anthony Tignino, Robert Buck and Sawyer Reed, the other North Beach wrestlers, lost their first-round matches at the State “Mat Classics” tournament that started this morning, in Tacoma. While the others will continue to wrestle, and can finish as high as third, only Jennifer has a shot at a State championship, now.

KOSW 91.3 has a new antenna. Yesterday, Keith Hoeman II climbed the 100-foot Coast Communications tower to replace the radio station’s antenna, which had been damaged by a recent storm.

Don’t look down, Keith!

City Council meets Monday, Feb. 22, 6 p.m., Convention Center. At this meeting, they will discuss the mayoral vacancy, created by Dean Bunkers‘ sudden resignation, last week. Council may select a replacement for finish Bunkers remaining two-plus years. If they select a member of council, they may select a replacement for that position (which would be until 2011 or 2013, depending on the position that becomes vacant).

Also, a “Citizen Advisory Panel” (appointed by Bunkers) will give their recommendation on EMS. And Art Wuerth, the finance director, will lead a discussion on a possible EMS levy ballot this April.
