River Ridge vs. Aberdeen – River Ridge HS – 7:30 PM

Olympia is in need of a win tonight to keep their playoff hopes alive in the 4A Narrows League. As The Olympian spelled out, there are four playoff spots available with Stadium and Gig Harbor already clinched and four teams fighting for the final two spots including Bellarmine (5-5), Yelm (5-5), South Kitsap (5-5) and Olympia (4-6). The two teams met on January 10th with the Lions taking a 54-35 win in Tacoma.

The two top teams in the 2A EvCo battle tonight when WF West (9-0) takes on Black Hills (8-2). The Wolves might have more at stake than the Bearcats. After their loss to River Ridge on Friday, a loss to the Bearcats tonight would drop them into a tie with the Hawks. WF West took the first meeting in Chehalis 70-42.

Today (2/1): Geoducks Battle Northwest in CCC Doubleheader

Women: Evergreen vs. Northwest – CRC Gymnasium – 5:30 PM
Men: Evergreen vs. Northwest – CRC Gymnasium – 7:30 PM

Important Cascade Conference game tonight at the CRC Gymnasium when the Evergreen women host in-state rival Northwest at 5:30 PM. The Geoducks (6-5 CCC) are riding a four game winning streak and come into tonight a game back of the third place Eagles (7-4 CCC). The two teams met on January 4th in Kirkland and the Geoducks took home a 69-61 win behind 17 points from Sadee Jones and Sammi Clark. Northwest is 15-8 this season overall while the Geoducks are 10-8.

Can the Evergreen men make it two in a row? They will have to pull off the upset to make it happen against a Northwest (7-4 CCC) team that beat them pretty easily in early January, 87-73. But the Geoducks (2-9 CCC) have been a different team since then and with the emergence of Dre Taylor and the three point shooting of Kyle Calhoun, they are suddenly poised for an upset on any given night.

Big rematch on tap tonight when the Black Hills girls travel to Lacey to take on River Ridge. The Wolves took the first meeting on January 3rd when Taylor Sauls drilled a buzzer beating three pointer to give them the 62-61 win and solidify their place as the #2 team in the 2A EvCo. A Hawks win tonight could put that #2 spot back in play with WF West still looming on Black Hills’ schedule. River Ridge is ranked #4 in the latest AP 2A girls basketball rankings while Black Hills is right behind them at #5.

Over at Olympia High School, the Bears host South Kitsap with third place in the 3A Narrows on the line. Oly sits at 6-3 in league while the Wolves are just a game behind them at 5-4. The two teams met on January 8th in Port Orchard and South Kitsap came out on top, 40-38.
