The Camas gymnastics team pulled off one of its greatest stunts to date last week, winning the 4A state meet for the second consecutive year and earning one of the top three scores in Washington state history at the state gymnastics championships, held Friday, Feb. 22, at Sammamish High School in Bellevue.
Washougal High School may have to build a larger trophy case as the Washougal girls basketball team continues to bring home substantial hardware during its quest for a state championship.
The Washougal High girls basketball team made history even before the postseason started by wrapping up the program’s first-ever undefeated league season with a 66-27 victory over the Columbia River Chieftains at a home game, Feb. 5.
In a season that started with a new coaching staff, new systems, new plays, and even new players, as most starters from last year’s league championship team graduated, the Camas girls basketball has pushed through the changes to continue its championship ways.
There was a time early this season when the Camas boys basketball team was ranked among the top 10 in the state. As the season progressed, the Papermakers record shifted away from the top of the pack, and landed at 12-8 overall by the time Camas was set to play the Battle Ground Tigers on Jan. 30, for a spot in the playoffs.
For the fourth consecutive season, the Washougal girls basketball team is the reigning league champion, after the Panthers beat Woodland 71-39 in front of a standing-room-only crowd in Washougal on Thursday, Jan. 24.
One season after winning the first-ever state championship in gymnastics for Camas High School, the Papermakers are looking to add to the school’s impressive trophy case.
Playing the No. 1 team in the state is always a monumental task, and Camas has now faced that challenge inside their own league twice this season.
A crushing defeat, a heartbreaking loss and a thrilling last second victory — the Washougal boys basketball team and Panther fans experienced all that and more during three home games in just one week.
