ON THE HIGH SCHOOL HARDWOOD, THEY'RE HALF-WAY THROUGH LEAGUE PLAY AS WE WIND DOWN THE MONTH AND TEAMS START TO POSITION THEMSELVES FOR MARCH MADNESS AND THE PLAYOFFS.

 

ALTHOUGH THE SUMMIT BOYS ARE IDLE TONIGHT, THE STORM ARE RANKED 2ND IN THE STATE IN THE 6-A LEVEL AND REMAIN UNBEATEN AT 14-AND-0 AS THEY HEAD TO SALEM TOMORROW NIGHT TO FACE MCKAY.

 

MEANTIME, IN THE 5-A DIVISION THERE ARE TWO KEY GAMES TONIGHT IN THE INTERMOUNTAIN CONFERENCE FOR BOTH REDMOND AND RIDGEVIEW.

 

THE 5TH RANKED PANTHERS AT 11-AND-5 OWN A HALF-GAME LEAD OVER HOOD RIVER WHO REDMOND HOSTS TONIGHT AT 630.

 

AND, JUST DOWN THE ROAD ON THE SOUTH END OF REDMOND, THE 12TH RANKED RIDGEVIEW RAVENS WELCOME THE DALLES.

 

ON THE 1-A DOCKET, IT'S SURE TO BE A PREVIEW OF A POSSIBLE STATE TOURNAMENT SHOWDOWN IN BAKER IN MARCH WHEN TRINITY LUTHERAN TRAVELS TO MEDFORD TONIGHT AT 7 TO MEET ROGUE VALLEY ADVENTIST.

 

TRINITY, WHO BEAT ROGUE VALLEY IN DECEMBER, 48-45, HAS JUST A ONE-HALF GAME LEAD OVER ADVENTIST ATOP THE MOUNTAIN VALLEY LEAGUE.
