2006-2007

WIAA Washington State Tournament: March 10

Saturday, March 10, we finished off a great transitional season at the WIAA State tournament on the campus of the always-lovely University of Puget Sound down in Tacoma. 50% of the attending team broke through to Finals in their events, resulting in a 4th Place Trophy in the overall team category! The breakers were juniors, sophomores, and even a freshman "diaper dandy" (apologies to Dick Vitale. It is March.) so the future looks bright! Of all the 1A/2A/3A schools in Washington, only 32 qualified to State. We also returned home with that rarest of medals: an IE state championship.  Highlights included:

Puget Sound District Tournament: March 1-3

Back to Kamiak already? You bet! That's where the National Qualifier Tournament is held near the end of each season, so it's a return to Mukilteo, as school's compete to make it to the "Big Dance" each June. While it looks like no Cardinals will be headed to Kansas THIS year, several of our competitors went WAY deep into the tournament. Highlights included:

Kamiak High School: Feb. 2-3

We don't get many opportunities to head north, so we point the big yellow bus towards the Mukilteo Speedway at this time of year and go to beautiful Kamiak for our regular season finale. Special thanks to Andy the black belt bus driver for hanging out when the awards ceremony started late. Highlights included:

Eastside Catholic High School: January 19 - 20

Just across Lake Washington on the I-90 bridge, you'll find Eastside Catholic, where coach Mike Burton and his team ran a model tournament that actually finished an hour or so AHEAD of schedule! Can't beat that. We had several first-timers out for this one and everyone represented SAAS at the highest level. Highlights included:

Auburn Riverside High School: December 9

This tournament marks the halfway point in the season, and what a season it's been thus far! ARHS had 31 schools on a foggy, rainy Saturday. The bus pulled out of Seattle at 6 a.m. and before the day was through we dealt with everything from collapsed varsity rounds to boa constrictors. Highlights included:

Auburn High School: December 2

51 squads at Auburn High School, ice and snow the week before, and TWO fire alarms during the tournament! Yikes! It was more than worth the trip, however, as our post-season roster continues to grow. Highlights included:

Puyallup High School: November 11

The Puyallup High School Invitational kicks off the season each year, and we joined 39 other schools down south to inaugurate a new team. Highlights include:
