PREP SPORTS: North Peninsula teams prepare for postseason Friday, Saturday

Schedules and locales have been picked for four area football teams still alive in the postseason.

Three of the games will be played Friday night. All are on the road.

In the State 1A playoffs, Port Townsend (7-3), the No. 2 seed out of the Olympic-Nisqually 1A League, will play La Center at Woodland High School in southern Washington at 7 p.m. Friday. La Center is 9-1 and beat Forks 66-12 in the first round of the 1A playoffs.

Also at 7 p.m. Friday in the 1B Quad-District playoffs, Neah Bay (7-1) will play Taholah at Stewart Field in Aberdeen. Crescent (5-4) will play Tacoma Baptist, also at 7 p.m. Friday, at Curtis High School in University Place.

A Quilcene Quad District game against Lummi was moved from Friday to Saturday. That game will be played at Lummi at 5 p.m. Lummi is the No. 1-ranked team in the state, so the Rangers have their work cut out for them.

In other sports, here are the postseason schedules:

Volleyball

Four local teams will be playing at the 2A and 1B WIAA state tournaments, which begin Friday.

At the 2A Tournament at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey, Sequim (15-3), the No. 5 seed out of the West Central District, will begin play at 11 a.m. against Archbishop Murphy.

At the State 1B Tournament at the SunDome in Yakima, three area teams — Neah Bay, Clallam Bay and Quilcene — all qualified out of the Quad-District Tournament.

Neah Bay will begin by playing Oakesdale at 9:45 a.m. Quad District No. 1 seed Quilcene (undefeated at 20-0) will play its first match against Odessa-Harrington at 11:30 a.m. Clallam Bay, the No. 3 seed out of the Quad District, will play Evergreen Lutheran at 1:30 p.m.

Swimming

The Port Angeles Girls’ Swim Team, winners of the West Central District, will compete at the WIAA 2A State Swim Championships, beginning with preliminaries at 9:45 a.m. Friday at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Finals will take place all day Saturday.

College soccer

The Peninsula College women (15-0-0, 17-1-1), ranked No. 1 in the Northwest Athletic Conference, will play in the NWAC semifinals at Starfire Stadium in Tukwila at 12:30 p.m. Friday against a very stingy North Idaho (10-1-3, 14-2-3) squad. North Idaho has only given up 13 goals in 19 games.

If the women win, the championship match will be held at the same venue at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
