In a week where more sporting events were postponed than actually contested, the Enumclaw High boys were able to provide a Saturday morning highlight.

The Hornets took the court at 10 a.m. to kick off the Kiel Mechanical Showdown, a 14-team tournament staged at Auburn High School.

Squaring off against the Class 4A Sumner Spartans the 3A Hornets kept things close but still trailed at halftime. After intermission the EHS crew took control, eventually building a double-digit lead and then coasting to a 60-51 victory.

The Enumclaw triumph can be chalked up to some balanced scoring. Four Hornets reached double figures: Trey Kuzaro had 16 points; Kannon Kuzaro, 13; Jason Feddema, 12; and Gavin Trachte, 11.

The Auburn tournament didn’t go quite as well for the White River boys who took the floor later in the day and absorbed a 76-50 loss at the hands of the Glacier Peak Grizzlies.

Getting some court time provided a welcomed respite from the dreaded atmospheric river that washed through the region during the second half of the week and caused untold damage.

On the Plateau, floodwaters were responsible for the cancellation of midweek basketball games, a swim meet, wrestling matches and a bowling competition.
