Gig Harbor, WASports

In an exciting start to the Class 3A state tournament, Gig Harbor's Tides basketball team defeated North Central of Spokane 71-56, largely due to the stellar 35-point performance by center Michael Masini. This victory was their fifth in six games, reflecting a strong finish to the season before the subsequent loss to Monroe, which ended their tournament run. The match against North Central showcased the Tides' resilience, as they overcame an early deficit after facing a tough full-court press. Key players like Cole Browne and DJ Darling stepped up, with Browne making a crucial circus shot just before halftime to narrow the lead. The Tides displayed exceptional teamwork and strategy, effectively countering North Central's star player, Makai Daniels, and their aggressive defense.

Despite their loss to Monroe, which ended their hopes of progressing to the Tacoma Dome, the Tides' performance throughout the tournament highlighted their growth and potential. The article underscores the significance of high school sports in community engagement and local pride. As they look ahead, the Tides can draw from this season's experiences to build for the future.
