Tuesday games over Wednesday Round-Up

CTL Boys Bracket
With the CTL boys "play-in" game over and the Tuesday boys and girls games finished the CTL play-off picture begins to take shape. The Brewster boys faced off against Cascade and Okanogan faced off against a surging Cashmere.

Brewster just could not hang with a deeper Cascade team and lost 66 to 47. And Okanogan, who was obviously highly over-rated throughout the regular season lost 59 to 55. Both Okanogan and Brewster are now out of the district tournament altogether. Brewster has become a highly depleted team and it showed. Okanogan seems to have suffered from a very weak non-league schedule. All season long they were given credit in the state-wide rankings for running up the score on 1 and 2B schools.

Meanwhile Cashmere has been surging late in the season and are obviously a better coached team than Okanogan. Cashmere will now face LR in the next round this Friday and if LR has their game face on and play a clean game they should win that game. However if the LR players do not take this Cashmere team serious and give the Bulldogs the feeling that they can win it, then there is the possibility of an upset.

Cascade will face off against the Goats of Chelan in the other quarter final and the Goats, who may be the best team in the state, should easily win that game.

Girls Bracket
Meanwhile on the ladies side of the tourney the Brewster Lady Bears upset the Cascade Kodiaks of Leavenworth. Really pretty stunning actually. That sets the Lady Bears up against a strong Okanogan team.

On the other side Cashmere completely handled the Lady Raiders by a score of 59-39. And it wasn't even really that close.

That is not good news for the Lady Raiders going forward into next year.

District 7 Boys Bracket
Over on the district 7 side of the NEA region Chewelah will face off against Newport on Friday while Freeman will face off against Lakeside on Saturday. The winner between Chewelah and Newport will face the loser of the Freeman/Lakeside game.

The odds are on Freeman getting past Lakeside.
