Tonight (2/14): Valentine’s Day playoffs
It’s Valentine’s Day so why not take your special someone to a playoff basketball game (I say as I plan to go to dinner and “The Artist” tonight)?
On the girl’s 2A side, the place to be tonight is Tumwater High School. At 6:00 PM, River Ridge takes on Mark Morris in a matchup between the #1 seed out of the EvCo and the #1 seed out of the Greater St. Helens League. Mark Morris is 18-4 overall and was 9-0 in the GSHL and are coming off a 64-41 dismantling of Tumwater in the first round.
Following the River Ridge/Mark Morris game, North Thurston takes on W.F. West for the third time this season and the Rams are looking for some revenge. The Bearcats handily knocked off the Rams twice, 60-47 on December 13th and 59-42 on January 27th. Tip-off is tentatively set for 7:45.
In the consolation bracket of the 2A District IV tournament, Tumwater and Black Hills travel to Chehalis to take on Hockinson and Woodland, respectively.
In the 3A girl’s playoffs, Timberline takes on Mountain View at 6:00 PM at Franklin Pierce High School in Tacoma. Mountain View is the #4 seed out of the 3A Greater St. Helens league and has a 10-13 record overall. This game is on Wednesday, not Tuesday.
Two other girl’s game in town tonight, though they don’t involve Olympia area teams (since I’m focused on only Olympia, Tumwater and Lacey). Forks plays Castle Rock at 6:00 PM and Tenino takes on Hoquiam at 8:oo PM at Black Hills High School. You should go and see Tenino’s dominant sophomore Nike McClure because you will hear a lot about her over the next couple years.
On the boy’s side, the 4A playoffs get underway when Olympia hosts Kentlake at 7:00 PM. The Falcons were 9-8 in the SPSL and are 11-12 overall. Kentlake has won two straight playoff games to get to this point, beating Tahoma on February 8th, 35-22, and Rogers on Saturday, 61-58.
Also in action tonight is Northwest Christian who head to Rochester to take on Naselle at 6:30 PM in the consolation bracket of the 2B District IV playoffs. The Navigators beat Naselle twice during the regular season.

Tonight (2/8): high school seeding on the line, Clippers host Green River
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. The Blazers are 7-2 in conference and in second behind Wilson while the Tornados are 6-3 in conference and in third. Timberline won the first meeting on January 30th, 59-49 in Yelm.
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….
Foss at Capital – 7:00 PM
Shelton at Olympia – 7:00 PM
Yelm at Timberline – 7:00 PM
W.F. West at Black Hills – 7:00 PM
Only one game in town on the boy’s side. Tumwater hosts Centralia at 7:30 PM. Tumwater can get the fourth seed out of the EvCo with a win and a Black Hills loss in Chehalis. The T-Birds beat the Tigers by 25 on December 16th.
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. The men, meanwhile, could jump up to fifth place in the NWAACC West with a win. They also lost a close game to the Gators earlier this season, 85-82.

January 30th recap: Capital goes three overtimes, Timberline notches two wins, Oly keeps rolling
First of all, I apologize for not having a couple of these games on the “tonight” post this morning. Still trying to find a reliable source for a schedule. The makeup games are from the snowstorm have made things a little confusing.
Boy’s basketball

Capital 104, Foss 100 – 3OT
Timberline 61, Yelm 54
Capital and Foss played an epic game on Monday night. The third overtime finally settled it as the Cougars took home an 104-100 victory over Foss. Three players, Karl Peterson (26 points), Keenan Williams (25) and Jaren Eidenmuller (23) combined for 74 of their 104 points. Olympia moved to 9-1 in the 4A Narrows League and are still tied for first place with Bellarmine who beat Gig Harbor 57-48 tonight. And Timberline picked up it’s first conference win on the season.

Timberline got 28 points from Sasha Weber in their 59=49 win in Yelm. The win moves Timberline to 6-1 in the 3A Narrows League one game behind Wilson who beat Lincoln 71-35 tonight. The Blazers play host to Lincoln on Wednesday before traveling to Wilson on Friday with first place possibly on the line.
