The high school fastpitch softball teams from Kentridge and Kentlake will compete in the West Central District tournament on Friday and Saturday at Sprinker Field in Tacoma with shots at advancing to the Class 4A state tournament.
Kentridge, the fifth seed out of the South Puget Sound League, hasn’t been to state since 2002.
The Chargers finished second in the SPSL North regular season and earned a spot in the league tournament semifinal with wins over Puyallup and Rogers on the first day of the tournament last week before losing to Emerald Ridge and Beamer on day two.
In the first round of the district tournament, Kentridge will play Camas.
Kentlake, which earned the seventh seed into the district tournament, took two of its three games into extra innings in the league playoffs.
First, the Falcons took Beamer to nine innings in the opening game only to lose 4-3, then handily defeated Thomas Jefferson 18-1 in the second game before narrowly losing to Puyallup 8-7 in eight innings in the third contest May 10.
Kentlake plays Bellarmine Prep, the Narrows League second seed, at 10 a.m. Friday.
