Southridge boys make playoff push
Southridge boys make playoff push
KENNEWICK -- Three weeks into January, things were not looking good for the Southridge boys basketball team.
A 61-37 home loss to Kamiakin was the Suns' eighth loss in nine games, and their playoff hopes were starting to slip away. A year after making their third state appearance, the thought of not making the playoffs at all was all but unbearable.
"We were in bad shape at that point," Southridge coach Jason DeVere said. "Nobody wants to be there. But if you're there, it's a test of your character. What are you going to do?"

Waitsburg-Prescott rolls into 2B state finale
PASCO -- Colfax High School football coach Mike Morgan thought he might have the Waitsburg-Prescott offense figured out, but Waitsburg-Prescott coach Jeff Bartlow wasn't so sure about the undefeated Bulldogs.
"It is so hard to game plan for them," Bartlow said after his undefeated Cardinals defeated Colfax 42-13 to earn a berth in next Saturday's 2B state championship game in Tacoma against Morton-White Pass. "They are such a well-coached team, and they do so many things. I had nightmares all week. I feel like I was up for two or three days trying to figure Colfax out."
Colfax's Morgan may have been a little more confident, but he also understands the Cardinals have the one ingredient that is nearly impossible to prepare for.
