With the regular season behind them, three of the Plateau’s four high school basketball teams are heading into postseason play.

Here’s a peek at what’s in store:

White River girls

The elite squad on the local scene, the Hornets are coming off a 14-0 South Puget Sound League 2A season. At 18-2, the only losses are to the state’s No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams.

The Hornet girls begin postseason play tonight, Wednesday, hosting the Sequim Wolves from the Olympic Peninsula. Game time is 7 p.m.

They will play a second game at 7:45 p.m. Friday; that game will be at Curtis High in University Place for Wednesday’s winner and at Bellermine Prep for the Wednesday loser.

Enumclaw High girls

The EHS girls head to Tacoma for the postseason  opener, paired against the Lincoln Abes. Game time is 7 p.m.

Enumclaw will play a second game at 6 p.m. Friday. A Wednesday victory would send the team to Park High; an opening loss would bring a loser-out game at Washington High School.

White River boys

Postseason play begins Thursday, Feb. 12, with a road game against Olympic High. Game time is 7 p.m.

If the Hornet boys win, they play Saturday at Foss High in Tacoma; a loss brings a game Saturday at Curtis High in University Place. Either way, game time is 4:30 p.m.
