Purple
& White Game Moved to Tuesday
The annual Purple & White intrasquad
game scheduled for Monday, March 3rd at 5:00 pm at Lee Johnson Field
has been postponed until Tuesday, March 4th due to rain. The start time remains 5:00 and will still be
played at Lee Johnson Field.
The scrimmage game consists of a split squad roster, with
half of the players on the Purple team and half on the White team. This year’s contest will be a nine-inning
game and, for the first time in at least five years, the game will be played at
Lee Johnson Field rather than Lake Washington HS. This gives the Kangs a chance to play a game
under the lights at their home field before the season opener on Tuesday, March
11th against the Roosevelt Roughriders.
Following the intrasquad, the
initial Varsity and JV rosters will be finalized and the Kangs will begin to
prepare for their jamborees coming up on Saturday, March 8th. The Varsity jamboree will be held at
Archbishop Murphy HS starting at 10:00 am, with Lake Washington playing the
first three innings against Archbishop and the second three innings against
Mercer Island. The Junior Varsity team
will host the jamboree at Lee Johnson Field on Saturday starting at 11:00. As the host, the Kangs will play the first
set of three innings (against Mercer Island) and sit out the middle three
innings before finishing up the final three frames against Archbishop Murphy.
