The 2A District IV boy’s playoffs begin tonight with two games here in town.

River Ridge, the #1 seed from the EvCo, gets another game with Tumwater, the EvCo’s #5 seed, but it shouldn’t be an easy first round game for the Hawks. The two teams split their two conference games this season. The T-Birds won the first meeting in double overtime, 92-90 and River Ridge took the second game 80-68. In both games, River Ridge’s Brad Wallace scored over 30 points (32 in the loss and 37 in the win). Tip-off is at 7:00 PM.

North Thurston hosts Washougal, the #3 seed out of the Greater St. Helens League, at 7:00 PM. Washougal was 4-4 in conference and 11-6 overall but won just two of their last seven games.

Black Hills travels to Longview to take on Mark Morris, the #1 seed out of the Greater St. Helens, who went undefeated in conference and has won nine straight en route to a 14-4 overall record.

In 2B boy’s playoff action, Northwest Christian takes on Toutle Lake in Rochester on Saturday night. Toutle Lake was 12-2 in conference and 17-3 overall.

The Western Oregon Wolves comes to town on Saturday night to take on Saint Martin’s.  The Wolves are fourth in the GNAC at 8-5 in conference with a 15-7 overall record. One of those losses was to the Saints on January 14th in Monmouth. Jeremy Green had 18 points and Brok Pendleton and Will Bond added 15for the Saints in their biggest win of the season against the then first place Wolves. Since that loss, Western Oregon has gone just 2-4. Tip-off is at 7:00 PM at Marcus Pavilion.
