Victory: Colton girls take state

Colton girls nab state championship for second year. The powerhouse Colton girls basketball team lifts the golden globe after claiming the school’s second straight state 1B championship last Saturday night in the Yakima SunDome. The Wildcats rolled over their opposition, beating opponents by more than 42 points per game. Colton was one of four Whitman County teams to take part in the Yakima showdown last weekend; Rosalia, St. John and Endicott qualified as well. Shots of all four teams playing at the state tournament in Yakima can be found in the sports section on page 5.
