Lakewood tried to quickly finish five innings, but weren’t able to fight both Sultan and Mother Nature April 6.
No it’s not an April Fools’ Day trick.
Lakewood boys soccer announced it should not be taken lightly with a 2-1, shootout win over first place Archbishop Murphy April 1.
The Cougars fell victim to the most unfortunate of spring circumstances March 31.
Sometimes just being in the right position is the difference between winning and losing. This happened to be one of those times for catcher Jessica Christensen and the Lady Tomahawks as they rallied to a 9-4 Wesco North win at Arlington March 30.
The Tommies have almost moved past the point where beating Snohomish defines their season.
It’s hard to be patient when playing the same team that beat you the day before. But the Cougars were the picture of composure, driving in key runs and drawing seven walks en route to a 10-2 Cascade Conference victory over Granite Falls March 24.

The M-P coach was just sitting back and letting her hitters swing away against Snohomish, with ample results as the Tommies defeated the Panthers 11-1 in Wesco Conference play March 23.
Scoring nine runs in an inning is hard enough, but doing it to win the season-opening series against the reigning Cascade Conference champion is a statement.
“I’m real proud of my guys,” said Lakewood coach Larry Delaney after the 13-12 walk-off victory on Friday. “Some players would have been satisfied with taking one game from Archbishop Murphy after being down 8-0, but they weren’t. They fought back.”
The Lady Cougars completed their non-conference schedule with a pair of impressive wins on back-to-back days.
Most teams struggling to stay afloat don’t get shutouts. But Marysville-Pilchuck, which has lost three starters to injuries so far this season, fought off a pesky Cascade team to garner a 1-0 Wesco North victory March 18.
With many of the positions set around the diamond, Cougars coach Larry Delaney will be on the lookout for pitching.
Every coach has reason to be excited about the start of another season, and Nathan McClellan is no different.
