At the end of a heated Oct. 6 match-up against Decatur High School, the Bonney Lake High School girls golf team was tied up on the point count, 135-135.
Running back Tyler Salisbury got the Sumner High football team on the board in the opening quarter and receiver Dan DeVries and quarterback Aaron Clark combined for a touchdown in the second quarter to keep it close at the half Friday night, but after that it was all Franklin Pierce.
The Bonney Lake High Panther Parent Pride Golf Tournament is set for Oct. 22 at High Cedars Golf Club in Orting.
A two-win week allowed the Bonney Lake Panthers to remain just a game off the pace in the South Puget Sound League 3A soccer standings.
Sumner High paddled past Steilacoom High’s swimmers Oct. 4 at a home dual meet that ended with the Spartans on top 98-71.
Linden just seems to be the Sumner Spartans’ course. The competition couldn’t touch Sumner’s boys golf team last week, save for Franklin Pierce. The SHS boys beat Fife 70-39 Oct. 4 and Thursday’s three-way against Franklin Pierce and Washington resulted in 68-61 and 68-51 scores in favor of the Spartans.
