PUYALLUP — With 23 years of history on their shoulders, it’s understandable that the Tomahawk soccer team would have some nerves in their first state tournament game in quite some time.
LAKEWOOD — A veteran Lakewood softball team ran out of opportunities and, once again, fell just short of the district tournament at the hands of Lynden.
