Key Highlights
- The game itself also had lower stakes, functioning as a quasi-play-in game.
- Even in those circumstances, it was still an accomplishment.
- It was, after all, technically the state tournament. Montesano is a town roughly a 45-minute drive west of me, quite close to Washington’s Pacific coast.
- It’s the county seat of Grays Harbor County, part of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula region, which might be my favorite part of the state.
- It is extremely rural, with the largest city in a region larger than multiple US states barely in the mid-20,000 range.
