Red-hot Sports in Redmond

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.

Can Redmond small schools go 4-for-4 in soccer state berths?

Three teams, Girls soccer for The Overlake School (1A) and both the Boys and Girls teams for The Bear Creek School (2B) have all earned spots in their respective state tournaments. Click on the hyperlinks to view the State brackets!

And knock on wood, but there’s a great chance at making it a perfect four as the Overlake boys meet up with division rivals Cedar Park Christian Tuesday night at 7pm at Sammamish High School in a winner-to-state game, with the loser going to another winner-to-state (loser out) game against the loser of the Seattle Academy/Seattle Christian game which also takes place tomorrow.

And HUGE congrats to coach Sherrie Wilson and the Bear Creek School volleyball team that made the State Tournament for the first time in school history!  They came so close last year, one game away if I remember right, and I know this is a big moment for the program.  Let’s root for them to bring home a trophy!

Hope everyone enjoyed my feature on local Olympic hopeful Scott Macartney in last Friday’s issue (front page).  He’s definitely going to be one to watch in Vancouver in a few months.  I’ll be covering tomorrow’s Overlake boys soccer game and am also planning to cover Bear Creek soccer this weekend at Sammamish High School as they play the first round of their state tournament. I just got off the phone with Bear Creek A.D. and boys’ coach Chad Pohlman and he has some really insightful words to say about his team’s success this year and his hopes for the state tournament.

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.
