2B Prep Boys Basketball / Report

The Toledo boys basketball team had a chance for vengeance and victory in the Regional round of the 2B State Tournament, but instead had to settle for a larger chip on its shoulder following a 64-63 loss to Tri-Cities Prep last Saturday at Tumwater High School.

The contest between the No. 4 Riverhawks and the No. 5 Jaguars was a rematch of the football State championship game at Husky Stadium in December, with a similarly gut wrenching finish. It was certainly not the retort Toledo was hoping for, but with at least one more game on the schedule this season the Cheese Town gang is doing its best to keep a level perspective.

“It makes me feel good about the seeding committee. When you look at the rankings, that should be a good game,” Toledo head coach Grady Fallon said. “We had our chances to win it against a good team so we can walk away with our heads held high.”
