Moments after Centralia’s matchup with Modbury, Australia, on Friday night, the two teams exchanged gifts and lined up for a team photo.

The final score — Modbury 70, Centralia 37 — meant next to nothing in the moment.

Instead, the group photo represented not just this past week, but over a decade of camaraderie with the suburb of Adelaide, South Australia.

“It’s a beautiful thing seeing sports connect people from all over the world,” Centralia Athletic Director Tim Ahern said. “The impact it has is so much bigger than basketball.”

TENINO — Between their first meeting in October and Saturday night, Napavine and Toledo had played 170 minutes of soccer.

The two teams played to a scoreless draw four weeks ago, and in the district title game in Tenino, the Tigers and Riverhawks again found themselves deadlocked at zero.

“We’re two evenly matched teams,” Napavine’s Taylen Evander said.

Ninety minutes wasn’t enough to declare a district tournament winner, but Evander made all the difference in the penalty shootout. She made three saves in the shootout, helping the Tigers win 1-0 (2-1 PKs) and repeat as district champions.

Darren Tinnerstet was looking for a program-defining win against one of the 1A powerhouse programs in Cascade Christian with the season on the line and a state berth up for grabs.

He got it, and how.

The Beavers shocked Cascade Christian 28-7 in Sumner in a Class 1A Round of 24 matchup Saturday night behind five turnovers from their defense and four rushing touchdowns from the offense. It’s the first trip to state in the Tinnerstet era and first since 2022.

The Rochester football team put up a whopping 74 points against Lakeside (Nine Mile Falls) in a 74-41 win in the Class 1A Round of 24 in Centralia Saturday, and the Warriors clinched their first trip to the state tournament since 2002.

PASCO — For Zach Hamilton, he was left with a choice.

On one hand, he could still play one of his favorite sports – soccer – with his club team and run cross country for Rainier High School. After all, he’s done that for the last three years.

On the other hand, he was dealing with a multitude of injuries. From hip to knee ailments, he never was fully 100 percent.

So it came down to his decision: Keep doubling up or go all-in on cross country.

TENINO — For the seventh straight state year, the Onalaska Loggers are state-tournament bound.

The Loggers punched their ticket in Tenino on Saturday, topping Adna 2-0 in the 2B District 4 Tournament Third-Place Game, just two days after falling in the district semifinals.

PASCO — Her mile split was a PR. Then her two-mile split also was a PR. Take a guess what her time across the finish line at Sun Willows Golf Course ended up being.

Oh, another PR.

Just a typical day in the office for Tenino High School’s Haley Huber.

“That is so cool, I am really proud of myself,” Huber said. “I feel so happy.”

In her final cross country race while donning the Beavers’ pink jersey, Huber crossed the finish line in 21 minutes, 23.10 seconds, a massive 17-second drop to give her a lifetime best at the Class 1A state championships on Saturday.

PASCO — Things broke the Rainier High School girls cross country team’s way last fall.

Rarely were they bitten with the injury bug. Their core group of scoring five runners were consistent and getting better each race. It all led to the first state championship in program history.

Going back-to-back was going to be challenging. And lady luck wasn’t on the Mountaineers side.

“All these girls had an injury flare up throughout the year,” head coach Rob Henry said. “They never used it as an excuse, never looked for the easy way out.”

Rainier put it all together on Saturday to return to the podium.

ADNA — Carrie Ooms isn’t one to rile up her team with what the naysayers are gossiping about.

Positivity is the only attitude the Rainier head coach tries to bring to her team, especially ahead of a big game. But there was a lot of noise from outside the tiny south Thurston County town about the Mountaineers.

They said Rainier couldn’t make a deep run in the District 4 2B Tournament. They said Allyson Ooms didn’t deserve to win the C2BL MVP award. They said Rainier couldn’t get past Toutle Lake in the title match.

In that decisive district championship match against the Ducks Saturday night, the Mountaineers put up the same score against Toutle Lake as they did against their doubters.

3-0.

For the first time since 1998 — Carrie Ooms’ senior season at Rainier — the Mountaineers are district champions, and they’ll head to the state tournament for the third straight year.

All season, the Onalaska Loggers had dreamed of celebrating the moment they clinched their first state tournament bid in a decade.

The moment arrived in a District 4 2B elimination match against Raymond-South Bend Saturday, but the Loggers reacted as if they had just won a regular season September match, not a winner-to-state contest in four sets.

With less than ten minutes to play, all the momentum was with Rochester.

The Tenino Beavers had just surrendered the game-tying goal, and a second yellow card put them at 10 players for the remainder of the game.

A final offensive push from Callie Mickelson led to a free kick, though, and Kyla Watson scored her second goal of the game on the kick to lift the Beavers to a 3-2 victory over the Warriors in a 1A District 4 Winner to State game on the blacktop on Saturday afternoon.
