The schedule is different this year, with the conclusion of high school spring sports covering two weeks instead of one.
For the traditional team sports, softball will crown champions in its classifications by the end of this week. Baseball and softball state playoffs start this week, but the championships will be held the following week.
State golf is this week. State tennis is at the end of this week, too.
Track and field will conclude the following week.
In the past, it was all in one week, with golf in the middle of the week and the rest of the sports going into one weekend.
In the team sports, Clark County has two teams that secured a No. 1 seed — the Skyview softball team and the Seton Catholic baseball team.
Softball, as noted, will conclude this weekend at various locations.
The undefeated Skyview softball team will face No. 16 Yelm in the opening round of the Class 4A state tournament in Richland on Friday.
Prairie is the 9-seed in the 3A tournament, which will be held at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey. The Falcons open against No. 8 Garfield in the 20-team field.
In 2A, Woodland is the 11 seed. Woodland will take on No. 6 East Valley. The 2A tournament is in Selah.
The 1A tournament is a 12-team field. Seton Catholic earned a 4-seed and will start in the quarterfinals on Friday. Seton Catholic will face the winner of 12-seed Naches Valley vs. 5-seed Elma. That tournament is also in Richland.
Clark County baseball fans will have at least one option to watch the early rounds of state baseball — right here in Clark County.
Seton Catholic earned the No. 1 seed from the 1A committee. However, as of Monday morning, organizers had not yet found a place for Seton’s regional. The Cougars will take on No. 16 Zillah in the quarterfinals on Saturday — place and time to be determined still. The winner of that game will play the winner of No. 9 Chelan vs. No. 8 Bellevue Christian, later on Saturday. It is possible those games will be moved away from Clark County.
Meanwhile, La Center earned the 3-seed from the committee, allowing the Wildcats to also host a four-team battle on Saturday. That pod will be played at Camas High School. No. 11 Lynden Christian will take on No. 6 Cashmere at 10 a.m. La Center will take on No. 14 Colville at 1 p.m. The winners play each other for a trip to the state semifinals the following week.
