4A Tournament
Saturday, Nov 5
Kentridge at Kentwood 11am (winner to state, loser out)
Thursday, Nov 3
Championship: Camas 1, Curtis 0 (4-3 PK’s)
The Championship came down to a stalemate through 80 minutes of regular time and 10 minutes of Golden Goal OT to send the District Championship to a shoot-out. To get to this point both teams defenses and keepers were outstanding denying each teams offenses time and again.
The shoot-out began with Camas going first and Bella Burns knocking in the 1st shot for the lead. The Viking’s K V Miller then evened it at 1-1. Both the Papermakers Parker Mairs and Curtis’s Taylor Meno were good to push it to 2-2 after 2 rounds. Curtis keeper Shaliyah Dupar then swamped the next shot giving the Vikings a chance for the lead but the shot went off the side post and through 3 rounds it was still 2-2. Both Morgan Wetzel and Hokulani Mose were good in the 4th round and it was 3-3 going into the final round before overtime shots. Camas’s Nora Melcher fired it and scored to go up 4-3. Then the Papermaker’s keeper Keely Wieczorek knocked out the tying shot to secure the win 4-3 in PK’s and the 1-0 win and District Championship.
Camas, the defending state 4A Champions are headed into the state tournament with a ton of momentum and despite being only seeded 4 in the District tournament have served notice they don’t intend to let the big trophy slip out of their hands.
Curtis also proved they were going to have to be dealt with coming in as the 7 seed and making it all the way to the Dist Championship match. The Vikings upset the 2 seed Tahoma and 3 seed Olympia before just missing in the Championship match. Our MVP was easy and we knew who it was prior to the shoot-out, it was which keeper was on the winning end. So Camas’ Keely Wieczorek was our MVP of the match.

Tahoma 2, Kentwood 0 (winner to state)

Tuesday, Nov 1
Semi-Final: Olympia vs Curtis 2, Olympia 1 (Winner to Dist Champ, loser to state tied for 3rd)
Semi-Final: Camas 1, Sumner 0 (Winner to Dist Champ, loser to state tied for 3rd)
The defending state champion Camas Papermakers served notice that the chase for the title still goes through them. Both teams battled for the 1st half with several attacks but neither were successful and it went to the half 0-0.
It took less than 2 minutes into the 2nd half for the Papermakers to change that when a penalty was called on the Spartans in the box. Camas’s Parker Mairs then lined up the PK and shot to the right of the Sumner keeper for the score. That would end up being the only goal in the match and Camas moves on to the District Championship against Curtis on Thursday. Sumner advances to the State Tournament.
Kentwood 2, Graham-Kapowsin 0 (loser out)
Tahoma 3, Union 2 (loser out)
Rogers (Puy) 2, South Kitsap 0 (loser out)
Kentridge 1, Skyview 0 (loser out)
The Chargers advanced knocking of Skyview 1-0 on a set play in the 61st minute. Kentridge’s Morgan Swett lined up a shot from 22 yards out and launched a looping shot that the Storm’s keeper Sam Groesbeck got a hand on it but it bounced inside the left post for the goal.
The Charger’s keeper Alexis Natividad was named our MVP of the match for the shut out win. Kentridge will move on to face Rogers (Puy) on Thursday at Sparks Stadium in a winner to state game.
