Today (3/15): soccer plays in the rain
I’m not going to worry about posting the schedules for baseball or fastpitch or any other weather dependent sport unless I hear that they are going to try to play through this mess. But soccer isn’t weather dependent, typically, so here’s what is going on tonight…
Tumwater @ North Thurston – 7:00 PM
Enumclaw @ Capital – 7:00 PM
River Ridge @ Black Hills – 7:00 PM
Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s the most wonderful day of the year. Yes, I have the March Madness.

STOP THE PRESSES: The University of Washington plays in the NIT tonight! Just kidding. Move on.
The spring sports season gets going in earnest tonight and it looks like even this snow won’t stop the fun. Here is the schedule in town as far as I can tell. Of course, all softball and baseball games could easily be canceled…

Today (3/10): Saints and Yellowjackets continue, boys soccer kicks off
The Saint Martin’s/Montana State-Billings softball and baseball doubleheader extravaganza continues on Saturday and even includes some extra baseball from a third game. It all starts at 11:00 AM at the SMU baseball field when the Saints and Yellowjackets continue their 2-2 suspended game from Friday afternoon. It then continues with a doubleheader at both the baseball and softball field with first pitch for both games scheduled for 1:00 PM. Weather may move the baseball games to the RAC, which is a good bet since it is currently pouring.
Boys soccer kicks off around town today with a handful of games. At South Sound Stadium are a fun pair of alumni games. The Timberline boys play Blazer alumni at 3:00 PM and North Thurston plays their alumni at 7:00 PM and there will be a 21-and-0ver alumni after party at O’Blarney’s following the games.
Black Hills and Capital also kick off their seasons on Saturday with a 2:00 PM game at Black Hills High School.

Seeding on the line in a couple of girl’s games tonight. Yelm and Timberline play with second place on the line in the 3A Narrows.

Across town in Tumwater, Black Hills takes on W.F. West with the fourth seed in the EvCo on the line for the Wolves. Conversely, on the line for the Bearcats is the #1 seed. The two teams met on December 15th and W.F. West won easily, 62-48.
Here is the full girl’s schedule in Olympia tonight….

Shelton at Olympia – 7:00 PM
Yelm at Timberline – 7:00 PM
W.F. West at Black Hills – 7:00 PM

There are a couple of important out-of-town games to keep an eye on for the boy’s: Northwest Christian takes on Napavine at 6:30 PM in Montesano in the first round of the 2B District IV tournament, Capital plays Foss in Tacoma in a winner makes the playoffs, loser goes home game, and Olympia goes to winless Shelton with first place in the 4A Narrows on the line.
In college basketball action, the SPSCC men and women host Green River with the women’s game tipping at 6:00 PM and the men at 8:00 PM. The Lady Clippers are still looking for their first win in the NWAACC West and could easily get one against the 4-14 Gators who only won their first meeting by four, 54-50 in Auburn in early January.
