YAKIMA — The Kingston boys basketball team hoisted a third place trophy in Yakima Saturday, edging the Burlington Edison Tigers 49-46 in the Division 2A State Basketball Tournament. Kingston shook off a tough loss to Squalicum the day before, which saw the Bucs four points short of the state title game. Saturday’s win over the Tigers helped washed away the sting. “That felt a lot better,” Kingston junior Sam Byers said. “That’s the way to send our seniors out.”
YAKIMA – Kingston’s state basketball title hopes ended Friday in tears.
The two-time defending state champion Squalicum Storm defeated the Buccaneers 49-45 in the Yakima Valley SunDome, riding out a furious second half comeback by Kingston.
