Central Kitsap First Up for Kangs at State

The KingCo champion Kangs are currently 18-5 and ranked #4 in the state.

Following a successful run during KingCo play, the Kangs take their game to the next level, with the 4A state tournament set to open on Saturday, May 23. Lake Washington’s first opponent will be Central Kitsap, who finished the year at 16-5, including a 12-2 record in the Narrows League Bay Division. The Cougars had to win two loser-out games this past Saturday and did just that, coming from behind to beat Curtis 8-6 before throttling Gig Harbor 13-0 to earn a state berth.

LW and CK will face off at 2:00 pm at Kent Memorial Park on Saturday afternoon. A win would put the Kangs in the state quarterfinals, where they would take on either Inglemoor or Puyallup with a trip to the final four at Safeco Field on the line.
