Neah Bay to face Oakesdale

SPOKANE — Neah Bay now knows that it will be playing Oakesdale today in the 1B state girls basketball tournament.

As a No. 1 seed, the Red Devils got a first-round bye. Oakesdale defeated Wellpinit 46-41 on Wednesday.

Oakesdale is a No. 7 seed with a record of 20-3. The Nighthawks have the No. 6 Ratings Percentage Index ranking among 1B schools.

The game will be played at 10:30 a.m. today and can be viewed on www.nfhsnetwork.com.

If Neah Bay, 20-1 and No. 1 in RPI, wins, the Red Devils will already be in the state semifinals, against either Mount Vernon Christian or Odessa. Mount Vernon Christian and Neah Bay played in the state championship last year with the Hurricanes narrowly beating the Red Devils 37-33.

The Sequim girls, meanwhile, played late Wednesday night against Sammamish (18-6) in the 2A state basketball tournament.

If the Wolves, No. 2 in RPI and seeded No. 8 in the state tournament, win that game, they will play again at 9 p.m. today in the quarterfinals against No. 7 seed White River (18-6). That game from the Yakima SunDome will also be on www.nfhsnetwork.com. And look for results of Wednesday’s game today online at www.peninsuladailynews.com.
