Opportunity knocks for Washougal
Panther boys basketball team faces Hockinson tonight for the final slot into the state tournament
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Once again, the Washougal High School boys basketball team faces the consolation finals crossroad.
A win tonight against their nemesis Hockinson sends the Panthers to the state tournament, but a loss ends the season. For the eight Washougal seniors who endured heartbreak after losing in a similar situation to North Thurston last season, it's now or never. The game starts at 7 p.m., at Evergreen High School, 14300 N.E. 18th St., in Vancouver.
"Twenty miles away at Evergreen, the atmosphere is going to be great," said senior guard Michael McElroy. "It's going to be a battle to see who has the loudest fans and who is the better team."
"We want to finish what we started last year," added senior forward Aaron Deister.
