Dominating.
Relentless. Winners. So many words to
describe this team and all of them are
accurate. This group of young men made history
this last weekend at the Washington State 4A
Championship Tournament. The Saxons beat
Federal Way 68-44 in the championship game on
Saturday night and became the first team in state
history to have back to back undefeated seasons.
Unbelievable.
The Saxons would not
be denied their opportunity to repeat as undefeated
champions. They came into the game focused and
reaped the benefits of their senior leadership and
their experience of playing in championship games.
From the opening tip-off, that Ferris won, they
never trailed Federal Way. The Saxons out
rebounded, out scored and took Federal Way out of
the game early on.
Erick Cheadle went 5
for 5 shooting 3 pointers (on his way to 17)
including one spectacular shot - a half court buzzer
beater at the end of the first half - that was an
absolute dagger for Federal Way. Jared
Karstetter had 15, Jeff Minnerly 12 and Dee Casto
had 18 points and a record-setting 8 blocks (also
set a tournament record with 25 total blocks).
It's been an amazing run with these
kids. We, as fans, have been able to witness
something that won't happen again for a long, long
time. We have learned so much from their
actions - determination, how to win, humbleness and
most importantly - team. It's been said a
thousand times by these kids but it deserves
repeating - they didn't care who was scoring as long
as the team was was scoring and the
results of their 2 year run speaks volumes.
