Hornet cheer teams to state

Enumclaw and White River will be at the Feb. 2 - 3 state championship.

A third-quarter offensive outburst turned the tide Saturday evening and propelled the Enumclaw boys to a 68-44 victory over visiting Washington High. The Patriots walked into Chuck Smith Gymnasium with a lowly 1-16 season record but gave the Hornets all they could handle during the early going. EHS had a slim 29-27 halftime lead before romping to a 24-7 third-quarter advantage and never looking back. The win pushed Enumclaw’s record to 10-3 in SPSL 2A play and 12-6 overall. In this photo, Karson Holt drives for two of his game-high 19 points.
