The Enumclaw High girls will look to keep their basketball season alive tonight, Wednesday, when they take on Camas in the opening round of the West Central/Southwest district tournament.

Game time is 6 p.m. in the Clover Park gymnasium. It is a loser-out contest.

The Hornet girls had qualified for district play as the No. 5 seed and, in Camas, will take on the No. 2 seed from the Greater St. Helens League. If the Hornets win tonight, they will play Tacoma’s Wilson High at 4:30 p.m. Friday, again at Clover Park. A victory over Wilson would send EHS to the state tournament. A Friday loss would not end the Hornets’ season, but would require a Saturday victory in the district loser’s bracket to guarantee a state berth.

To qualify for district competition, the Hornets split a pair of contests last week. A Thursday, 61-49 loss to Bremerton set the stage for a crucial, bounce-back, 59-46 win over Decatur Saturday.
