The place to check out news and tidbits about the Redmond prep sports scene, including Redmond High, The Overlake School and The Bear Creek School.
Grizzlies polish off state run, let’s get ready for baseball!
March 9th, 2010 at Tue, 9th, 2010 at 12:58 pm by Tim WatanabeWow, what a ride for the Grizzlies. After coming crashing down to earth with their upset loss to Pe Ell (the eventual 2B Champions) in the first round the Grizzlies came back with three wins, just like last year’s Redmond High team did, to place 5th.
But, as you may have read in my most recent story, it wasn’t all easy, especially for League MVP and senior stud Jamie Meyer, who has anchored this team from day one. He got hit in the head and required stitches on Thursday, and got violently ill that night and got almost no sleep. Running on fumes, he poured in 24 points and nailed four of five threes in an unbelievable game against Life Christian that went to OT, and then with Meyer running on empty the next day it was junior guard Lucas Peterson who stepped up and had the game of his life, 28 points, to lead the Grizzlies to a 63-33 rout of Colfax.
Great season for the Grizzlies and yet another trophy for the case there at the school, great work.
But now the fun winter season is over, and now spring awaits with my personal favorite sport, baseball. And Redmond looks to bring back a solid team this year with a good balance of offense, pitching and defense and should be very fun to watch this year as they look to get out of the Kingco playoffs.
We’ll start running previews of all our local teams this week, so stay tuned for that and let’s get excited for some spring sports!
Tim Watanabe Hi there! I graduated from the University of Washington in 2007 with a degree in Journalism and have been the sports writer for the Redmond Reporter since May of 2008. When I'm not covering the local high school sports scene I enjoy bowling, anything related to African lions, and performing as a lion mascot for community and charity events.
