The Sumner High boys basketball squad, which finished second in the SPSL 2A with an 11-3 accounting, split two subdistrict games at Foster High, handing a scrappy Port Angeles squad a 62-48 setback on Friday before losing to White River 49-42 Saturday to take the No. 6 seed into this week’s West Central District tournament.
Sumner played No. 11 seed Eatonville Tuesday night at Foss High School, with results coming too late to include here.
If the Spartans beat the Cruisers, they will challenge the Kingston High five at 6 p.m. Thursday at Foss High.
Should the purple and gold prevail against the Kingston Buccaneers, then Sumner will be assured of heading to Yakima’s Sun Dome for the WIAA Class 2A basketball state tournament. If Sumner loses to Kingston, the road to a state appearance will be more difficult to achieve, considering the Spartans would have to battle through the loser’s bracket and win three straight games.
