Lummi out to avenge early-season loss in Friday afternoon's 1B title game at the Tacoma Dome
Senior Kyle Finkbonner and the Blackhawks are on a roll.How big of underdogs were the Blackhawks in last week's semifinal game? Well, a Web site that keeps track of high school sports in Washington state reported earlier this week that Friday's championship game would pit Tri-Cities Prep vs. Neah Bay. One problem: Lummi dispatched Neah Bay 64-36 in the semis.
The Blackhawks went to Tri-Cities in the second game of the season, with Prep coming out on top 82-32. That should make the Jaguars heavy favorites, but the Blackhawks know what it takes to beat a team that's beaten them before. They had lost twice this season to Neah Bay before their big semifinal win in the Tacoma Dome.
Tri-Cities Prep is led by senior quarterback Will Hoppes (pictured against Lummi last season). Hoppes has thrown for nearly 10,000 yards in his career, tops all-time in class 1B.Prep took care of top-ranked Cusick, 42-26 in last week's other semifinal. Friday's championship game in the Tacoma Dome begins at 4 p.m.
