FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — After falling just short a year ago, the Pullman boys swimming team wasn’t about to let the chance at the Washington Class 2A state title slip through its fingers again.
The Greyhounds, seeded first in five events after Friday’s preliminaries, cashed in on four of those top spots with victories and pulled away from Anacortes to win the state championship Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center.
The Hounds tallied 286 points, while the Seahawks had 245.
Pullman trailed Anacortes through the 100-yard freestyle, an event junior William Miller won in 45.83 seconds, just 0.02 off the meet record.
The Greyhounds’ depth proved critical in the next event, the 500 free. Despite not winning, Pullman had junior Teo Uberuaga and sophomores Troy Reed and Zaine Pumphrey each finish in the top six, accounting for a total of 43 team points in the event. That was enough to overtake the Seahawks for first place.
Sophomore Jake McCoy, who had earlier won the 200 IM in 1:50.50, then took the 100 backstroke in a time of 50.30 to help the Greyhounds hold onto the lead. The 400 free relay of McCoy, Pumphrey, Uberuaga and Miller clinched the title with a first-place swim of 3:15.55.

GIRLS BASKETBALLPrairie 58, Lapwai 47
NAMPA, Idaho — If this was Prairie coach Lori Mader’s swan song, she did go out the way she wanted to.
The big three for the fourth-ranked Pirates of Cottonwood performed exactly how they have for the majority of the season and took the third-place game in the Idaho Class 1A Division I state tournament at Columbia High School against their archrival Lapwai.
Lexi Schumacher tallied 19 points for Prairie (21-6), which won for just the second time in the previous 19 meetings against its Whitepine League Division foe. Tara Schlader filled the stat sheet with 17 points, nine rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks. Kristin Wemhoff had 11 points and seven rebounds.
“I finally got one from them,” said Mader, whose team had lost four times to Lapwai this season alone. “...Still kind of shocking; everybody’s just, like, on Cloud Nine.”
For Lapwai (24-3), which played without senior Lauren Gould, Quibilah Mitchell had 12 points and four blocks and Madden Bisbee finished with 11 points. The McCormack-Marks sisters, Jaelyn and Jordan, combined for just nine points, all of them from Jaelyn.
The Pirates had a 17-6 lead after the first quarter and never looked back. Prairie, which held a commanding 45-28 edge in rebounding, also had a 20-3 cushion in second-chance points.

BOYS BASKETBALLPriest River 43, Grangeville 37
GRANGEVILLE — After leading through the first half, Grangeville went cold in the latter stages of an Idaho Class 2A district tournament game against Priest River and suffered a season-ending defeat.
The host Bulldogs (5-14) were led by Sam Lindsley with 10 points, while the Spartans (8-12) benefited from a game-high 18 points scored by Tyler Engleson.
“In the second half, we went pretty cold shooting-wise,” Grangeville coach Cooper Wright said. “Couldn’t get anything to fall, and in turn, Priest River started knocking down some big shots when they needed to make them, and that was pretty much it.
“I think we had a young team, and we definitely started improving toward the end of the season. Hopefully, we can take some of the positives and roll it into the next season.”
