A State Championship is the Super Bowl of high school. Eleven North Beach wrestlers and the girls and boys basketball teams continue their title pursuits in the coming days.

After finishing fourth or better in the sub-regional tournament last weekend, Jennifer Law, Dominic Deibel, Sawyer Reed, Anthony Tignino, Kevin Braden, Kaleb Towery, Joey Franklin, Robert Buck, Robby Patton, Tyler Reed and Alex Cadle will wrestle tomorrow  in the Regional tournament. It takes place at Tacoma Baptist High School, starting at 9 a.m.

The boys basketball team’s 67-47 “Senior Night” win over Raymond last night qualifies them for the District tournament; they squeaked into the tournament, but could be dangerous. The girls team had qualified earlier, with a terrific 15-4 regular season.

The North Beach High boys basketball team cranks up a big win at home against Raymond. Hyaks seniors Tres Pope, Derek Frigaard Moore and Cody James (pictured) lead the way.

Eleven North Beach wrestlers finished fourth or better in today’s “sub-regional” (a.k.a. district) tournament, qualifying for next week’s regional tournament at Tacoma.

Jennifer Law, Dominic Deibel and Sawyer Reed scored first place finishes, and the Hyaks team finished fourth. Anthony Tignino, Kevin Braden, Kaleb Towery, Joey Franklin, Robert Buck, Robby Patton, Tyler Reed and Alex Cadle also finished fourth or better.

Results:

Saturday at 11 a.m., the North Beach High wrestlers compete at the Subregional (a.k.a. “District”) Class B Tournament at Ocosta. The top four finishers in each weight class move on to the regional tournament the following weekend, with the State championship tournament in Tacoma coming soon.

First, flowers for the seniors, recognition and hugs, like the one shared above between Elizabeth Thatcher and her mother.
