The hearts inside these Camas High School boys basketball players are beating fast. They started out 0-3 in league. Now they are 3-3, after defeating Skyview 50-48 Friday, and Battle Ground 50-47 Jan. 21, in the Camas warehouse. "I'm going to remember this for the rest of my life," said junior James Price. "When the fans are in it and the team is in it, it's an exciting time."
Erin Locke and Morgan Ratcliff wrestled each other like they would any day in Washougal. There just happened to be fans from all over Clark County watching them under the lights at Mountain View High School, Saturday. "It's always hard wrestling your teammate," Locke said. "Right off the whistle, I could see her trying not to smile. I tried not to make eye contact with her. But in the end, it's all good." What the fans also saw was an elite performance by 11 Panthers. Locke, Ratcliff, Yaneli Martinez, Jessica Eakins, Emily Alder-Storm, Baliee Wright, Christina Murray, Romney Kellogg, Abby Lees, Jessica Biron and Katelyn Purkeypyle reached the final round of the Clark County tournament. Martinez, Locke, Murray, Lees, Biron and Purkeypyle became county champions, but all of the Panthers worked together to win the team title by more than 100 points.
The Camas High School basketball teams dominated their Hoops for Pink games Friday, inside the Camas warehouse. A 22-8 scoring barrage in the first quarter helped the Papermaker boys beat Heritage 55-28. It was their first league victory of the season after falling behind early in their previous league games and not being able to catch up. "Our motto tonight was 'refuse to lose.' We're done with that," said junior post Trevor Jasinsky. "For us to come out and get a big win on Hoops for Pink night was special for all of us. Not just me. I think I speak for the whole program when I say that."

The Camas Papermaker defeated the Union Titan 15-11 to become the 132-pound Clark County wrestling champion. "This was my first time out there in the finals at Clark County," Elliott said. "It was a little nerve wracking, but it's a good feeling to be able to come out with a win. And it's always good to beat a Union kid."

She scored 10 of those points in the second quarter. Khaw netted 13 points. Brenna Vargo and Teague Schroeder sparked the Papermakers off the bench. Vargo earned eight points and Schroeder added six.
The Camas High School gymnasts misplaced their equipment, uniforms and music, but that didn't stop them from winning the first session of the Winterfest Invitational Saturday, at the Naydenov Gymnastics Center in Vancouver. "This was one of the funniest meets because it was like we forgot everything," said freshman Alexis Sabatini. "But most importantly, we remembered to have a good time. That's the only way we can win is to have fun."
