Wilson, Stadium post district softball wins
Posted by Rick Walter on May 24, 2010 at 12:21 pm
The West Central District fastpitch tournament finally got underway today at Sprinker Recreation fields, after rainouts on Friday and Saturday forced a complete postponement of games.
In first round games this morning, Stadium held off a late Kentwood rally to win, 7-5. Heidi Wells was the winning pitcher with 13 strikeouts.
Wilson defeated Kentridge, 4-1. Janessa Flynn was the winning pitcher and along with Taylor Gomsrud had key hits for the Rams.
Stadium will play Jefferson, which defeated Bellarmine Prep, in the second round game at 2:15 with a guaranteed spot at state going to the winner.
Wilson will play Kentlake at 2:15 in another winner-to-state game.

Well, you sure know which one of those words is more important at Bellarmine Prep. Out of the 16 schools that are participating in the state basketball tournament, only one is requiring that its students still go to school during the days of the tournament: Bellarmine Prep. Of course the Lions players have the shortest commute to the tournament site, about four miles. It nevertheless seems like something of an extra challenge to compete in two consecutive 8:30 p.m. games (first two rounds) and a third if they win tonight, on school nights. Maybe they are catching a break on homework.
Foul Air

The foul air of bad officiating hit critical mass last night during the Bellarmine Prep vs. Moses Lake game. The game was really not pretty.
The Lions won, 65-55, in a game marked by spasms of good basketball but overhwhelmingly effected by officiating that was confusing to say the least. A total of 47 fouls were called, many either wrong or inconsequential and a dozen or so were NOT called that the band Third Eye Blind could sing anthems about. If they hadn’t been refereeing a basketball game last night. The refs admittedly don’t get much love from the coaches, players and fans, but, hey, sometimes they just don’t deserve much. More on this later after we check in with the head of the Washington Officials Association and WIAA.
