Subject: [VIRC] Pirates!!!!
In case you haven't heard, Vashon's Pirate boys are bringing home the
Island's first-ever state basketball championship trophy this
afternoon from Yakima. They utterly dominated their competition in
the tournament, ending with a resounding 49-24 thrashing of the
King's of Shoreline in the championship game last night. Up 24-15 at
the half, Vashon's suffocating defense didn't allow the King's to
score a single point in the third quarter, holding them scoreless for
over 12 minutes while putting the game away.
PI sports columnist (and Islander) Art Thiel just called to tell me
that his column in tomorrow's PI will be devoted to the Pirates and
he has arranged an interview with Coach Sears for later this
afternoon. If you've never read Art, he is (in my opinion) one of the
best sportswriters on the planet. This piece will be a real treat to
read so don't miss it.
I've also heard on the grapevine that the boys will arrive on the
3:20 ferry this afternoon in a variety of vans. That would put them
at the high school in the 3:50 to 4:00 zone if you'd like to drop by
and show your support. There will also undoubtedly be some kind of
celebration tomorrow at school that hopefully can include parents and
members of the community. No details on that yet.
At a time when good news has been, well...scarce...our boys have
given the Island something to rally around. I'll let you know if
their tentative arrival time changes.
