The trip back to Spokane was pretty uneventful.
I felt a little sadder about the loss today then I did last night. Ferris is losing an outstanding group of seniors.
We have a great nucleus of young players coming back though. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can accomplish next year.
I believe with a lot of hard work a return to State is a very attainable goal.
State Tournament Championship Game.
We played our worst half of basketball of the season and were never able to get closer than 10 in the second half. Walla Walla ended up winning by 16.
Despite the disappointing end to the season the guys have nothing to be ashamed of. They had a great season (26 – 3) and their number two finish is the best for Ferris in five years.
State Tournament Semifinals.
Ferris defeats Eastlake to advance to the finals against Walla Walla.
State Tournament Round Two.
Ferris defeats Lincoln to advance to the semifinals.
In Tacoma.
Ferris beat Decatur handily in the first round of the State 4A basketball tournament. Decatur's coach wore a crazy orange jumpsuit!
Happy Birthday Dad!
On the road to Tacoma. Updates may not happen again till Sunday.
It may still be Monday, but I feel like it's Tuesday already.
Today I've been trying to get packed, but I've definitely got a ways to go.
Ferris won their first Regional Championship ever last night by beating Davis 66-55.
Ferris's next game will be at 7pm Wednesday against Decatur in the first round of the State Tournament.
Tacoma here we come!
Ferris clamped down on Walla Walla’s 3 point shooters and managed to win an exciting game 43-29.
Next up: Davis at 8pm for the regional championship game.
Despite six previous trips to State in the 90's Ferris has never won a regional championship.
Today Ferris plays Walla Walla at 9pm with a state berth on the line. Both teams are 21-2 headed into the contest. Should be a good one!
