Boys Basketball to add shot clock
The WIAA Representative Assembly voted 42-11 last week to pass Amendment 11A and 11B, adding a 35 second shot clock to high school boys basketball in Washington State.
The new 35 second clock matches what is used at the Collegiate level.
In addition, the WIAA also passed a football "mercy rule", in that when one team is ahead by 45 points, the game will go to a running clock format.
The exact text of all the proposed amendments can be found HERE.

Baseball 04-24 vs Cascade
Both the baseball and softball teams both played against aggressive Cascade squads Friday, and both the varsity and JV teams were beaten by the Bruins.

Photos from the JV team are posted HERE.
Softball 04-24 vs Cascade
The JV softball team started off with a big bang Friday night against the Cascade Bruins. The Wildcat girls batted around in the 1st inning, building an 8-0 early lead thanks in part to some very aggressive and smart base running. In back-to-back plays, a Wildcat runner on first was able to steal 2nd and then make it all the way home on Cascade throwing errors.
In the first two innings, pitcher Emily Hunt faced 8 batters and struck out 5 of them. The JV team only allowed Cascade to score 1 run and won via the 10-run rule.
Things didn't go as well for the varsity girls. The team allowed 2 runs in the 1st inning, but thing weren't looking too bad until Cascade exploded for 5 runs in the 2nd. OH pitchers Ratliff and Osborn combined for 5 K's, but the Cascade pitcher struck down 10 Wildcat batters.
Kaylee Meders played another good game, going 1-3 at the plate with a stolen base, and she scored the only run for OH with the RBI going to Nikki Mowbray.
Photos of both JV and varsity are posted HERE.
