SEATTLE — The reining Class B state boys basketball champions delayed the celebration for the Neah Bay Red Devils in the Tri-District playoffs Tuesday night at Kings High School.

Neah Bay, 17-2, will play archrival Clallam Bay for the fourth time this season on Friday in a loser-out game at Shorecrest High School in Seattle.
