A bi-district championship was not in the cards for the Camas girls softball team Saturday.
But what the Papermakers were betting their whole season on was a return engagement into the state tournament. On Friday, they cashed in on that goal by defeating Bonney Lake 9-3 at the Sprinkler Center in Tacoma.
"Last year we were heart broken. After being the district champions, going two and out at bi-districts was horrible," said senior catcher Mikaela Searight. "This year, we wanted to give our all and win that first game. That was the most important one. A bi-district title would have been nice, but our goal all along was to get back to state."
