YAKIMA — La Center brought a 10-game win streak into the 1A state semifinals, but the Wildcats’ title hunt fell short on Friday.

Hunter Ecklund hit a pull-up 3 to pull within two with 25 seconds left, but Zillah hit key free throws to hang on to beat La Center 64-59 in the Yakima Valley SunDome to end a 10-game Wildcat win streak that included a league and district title.

La Center won each of those 10 games by a double digits margin.

Ecklund’s late-game effort capped a game-high 19-point performance, one of three Wildcats to score in double-figures. Senior Avery Seter had 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting and Colby Shaw added 11 points.

“I’m upset about the outcome but couldn’t be more proud of my team and how we fought,” Shaw, a senior, said. “We looked down a lot and kept coming back but it just wasn’t enough. Zillah’s an awesome team.”

La Center’s final push came early in the fourth quarter when Evan Norris scored and took a charge in consecutive possessions, which set up an Ecklund 3 to bring the Wildcats within two at 49-47.

The Wildcats play No. 10 King’s in the third place game on Saturday at 1 p.m., where it will contend for the program’s best finish since 1998 when it finished third. The La Center boys won back-to-back state championships in 1995 and 1996.

Zillah led by as many as 10 points in the second half and appeared poised to pull away, but the Wildcats heated up in the third quarter.

Ecklund hit a 3-pointer and Seter scored on the following possession to pull the Wildcats within five points and force a Zillah timeout with three and half minutes left in the third.

Antonio Salinas scooped up a loose ball, finished a layup while being fouled then completed the three-point play to put the Leopards up seven late in a third quarter in which La Center made 8 of 12 field goals after shooting 38 percent in the first half.

Zillah held a size advantage and asserted it on the glass, where it pulled down 18 offensive rebounds and out-rebounded the Wildcats 41-29.

Despite the loss, Shaw was quick to reflect on the run it’s been for the Wildcats, who fell short of Yakima a year prior by losing in the regional round — with much of the same roster.

“It’s been an awesome feeling, won league and districts, made it all the way here,” Shaw said. “Battled a lot this year. A lot of people didn’t expect us to make it this far even, so it’s just a good feeling.”

When Tanner Craig was a kid, he would control the music in the wrestling room at Evergreen High, where his father was an assistant coach.

After his final high school match, the Camas senior was treated like a rock star.

Craig had just won his second state title, triumphing in arguably the toughest weight class at Mat Classic in Tacoma.

As he did at every tournament, Craig paced on the mat before the 138-pound championship match, letting out the occasional yell.

He went on to beat Pasco’s Robbie Vaughn, a two-time state runner-up. That came one match after defeating Tahoma’s Steele Starren, a state champ the previous year at 126 pounds.

Later, on the street outside the Tacoma Dome, some rival wrestlers wanted pictures with Craig.

“Some of the Curtis wrestlers were like ‘Can I get a video of you doing that for my friends?'” he said. “I’ve had tons of people that when they walk by, they’ll start barking.”

For his accomplishments, Craig is The Columbian’s All-Region wrestler of the year.

Off the mat, Craig is polite and mild-mannered like Clark Kent, all the way down to his glasses. The transition to Superman happens when a match approaches.

“My coach described it as almost like an alter-ego,” Craig said. “I like being that one guy. I want to be remembered. I want to be known. It’s nice being that one weird guy who yells.”

Some of his victories required almost superhuman abilities. Craig trailed 5-3 late in his championship match against Vaughn. He landed a series of moves that saw him score four points in the final 15 seconds for a 7-5 win.

That came one match after he rallied to force overtime, then beat Starren 5-3 in sudden victory.

It also came one year after scoring a two-point reversal with 28 seconds left to win his first state title, 2-1.

“I’m definitely known as the comeback kid,” Craig said. “When you’re down, you’ve got to string stuff together. If something doesn’t work, you’re immediately out of it and back into something else. Just nonstop relentless pressure.”

The pressure won’t stop for Craig after high school. He’s headed to the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he’ll wrestle for Army. The idea of one day becoming a Green Beret interests him.

“I expect it to be fun,” Craig said of basic training, which he’ll start in July. “I’m no stranger to people yelling at me and telling me to do pushups. I’ve been to plenty of intensive wrestling camps where their goal is to break you.”

With a future set for service to his country and hopefully more success on the mat, Craig will leave Camas knowing he made his mark.

“I’ve heard people say that everyone who wrestles in college is a state champ,” he said. “It feels good that I have two of them and that I left on a good note.”

Columbia River High School has promoted Brett Smedley to be its next head football coach, the school announced Friday.

Smedley, a 2003 River grad, spent the last three seasons as defensive coordinator under Christian Swain, who resigned in January.

“I am really excited to start working with the kids and coaches and to give back to the River community that has done so much for my life,” Smedley said in a press release.

Smedley was the head coach at Coupeville High School, a 1A North Sound Conference school, for one season (2015), where he was previously an assistant coach. He has also been an assistant coach at Battle Ground High School.

As a player, Smedley was an all-state defensive end for the Cheieftains in 2002. He went on to play for Western Washington and Linfield.

Smedley teaches weight training and P.E. at River. His wife, Breanne, is River’s head volleyball coach.

This story will be updated.

WASHOUGAL — The Washougal High School girls basketball team stepped off a school bus holding the same state championship trophy it left Yakima with last weekend.

The city was there to cheer them on.

Dozens, including Washougal Mayor Molly Coston, showed up for a parade to honor the high school’s first state basketball title in downtown Washougal’s Reflection Plaza on Friday afternoon as the team bus was escorted by a fire truck and police cars.

On Saturday, Washougal beat East Valley of Spokane 49-40 in overtime to win the 2A state championship.

“It’s a first for them, it’s a first for us,” Coston said. “We’ve received awards for music, theater, academics — but this really is a huge feather in our cap for the entire community. First of many.”

The idea to have a parade came on Monday, and the plans quickly came together after that, according to Rene Carroll, communications consultant for the Washougal School District.

Once the bus stopped, players, coaches and cheerleaders mingled with the crowd. The cheer team led the group in a spirited cheer. Coston addressed the team, which was wearing white matching shirts that read “state champions” in Washougal orange.

“Great teamwork,” Coston told the team, “you broke that barrier winning a state championship. There will be many, many more. We’re so proud of you.”

The player shaking the most hands Friday morning? That was 2A state tournament MVP Beyonce Bea, whose efforts led the way for the Panthers all season, culminating with a 30-point, 15-rebound showing in the state championship game.

Bea expressed gratitude for the community members, many of whom have been supporting the team throughout the season.

“It still feels like I can’t believe we won the state championship, but it’s awesome we can come out here and say ‘hi’ to our community,” Bea said. “They’ve been supporting us this whole season, so it means a lot to be able to come talk to them.”

Washougal coach Brittney Knotts described the week since the win as “surreal.”

“Walking down the halls everyone’s talking to us, congratulating us,” Knotts said. “It’s so cool because it is such a community. Everybody knows what happened and if they don’t know, there’s an assembly. Everybody will know. A week later I feel like I’m still processing it.”

The team left the parade to go around to other Washougal School District schools, culminating with a celebratory assembly at Washougal High School on Friday afternoon.

RIDGEFIELD — Officially, it’s name is the Ridgefield Outdoor Recreation Complex.

For short, The RORC, as in rhymes with pork.

But maybe a more apt moniker would be “Ridgefield of Dreams.”

Clark County’s newest multi-purpose sports complex hosted its first event Friday and drew raves from many sources.

Ridgefield High School baseball coach Nick Allen called it “a game-changer.”

Senior Kellen Bringhurst said it was awesome.

And longtime Ridgefield football and baseball coach Art Osmundson called it beautiful.

“I don’t think any of us who were around when I first started at Ridgefield in 1977 could have ever imagined having something as wonderful as this,” Osmundson said of The RORC.

Osmundson was one of many local dignitaries who were on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony prior to Ridgefield High School’s baseball game against Kalama on Friday.

After Osmundson was called upon to throw the ceremonial first pitch, the Spudders took the field against Chinook under conditions — 38 degrees — that could hardly be described as baseball weather.

But things would heat up quickly for Ridgefield fans when Bringhurst opened the bottom of the first with a walk, then scored the game’s first run on a double by Josh Mansur.

Bringhurst would go on to be the star of Friday’s opener as the Spudders beat Kalama 3-0.

Bringhurst threw four innings of hitless relief and delivering the first home run at the RORC with his solo blast into the bullpen in left field in the third inning.

“It was always in the back of my mind — who was going to be the first guy to hit one out here,” Bringhurst said. “I didn’t know it was going to be me. But it was awesome. The feeling of it off the bat was great. It was sweet.”

Bringhurst’s home run ball was retrieved. Ridgefield city manager Steve Stuart presented it to the senior to sign, saying it would put on display at city hall.

The rain — or even snow — stayed away, which was good news for the fans who attended, even though with the RORC’s all-weather turf fields, rain would not have prevented Friday’s game from being played.

That’s a big plus for the Spudders.

“In high school baseball in Washington, the 32 days of practice you get are precious,” Allen said. “And being able to utilize all 32 of those days is huge for us.”

There will be more baseball Saturday with 10 teams coming to Ridgefield to take part in a preseason jamboree.

A week from Saturday, the RORC will host high school tournament in which the Spudders will host Lynden, North Kitsap, W.F. West, R.A. Long, Ellensburg, Prosser and Pullman.

The facility, which will host the Ridgefield Raptors college wood-bat baseball team this season, features six multi-sport turf fields for baseball, softball, Little League, soccer, football and more.

“Some people might complain about the cost to taxpayers,” Osmundson said. “But look at this place. This will benefit the people of Ridgefield for years to come.”

Art Osmundson was at the opening ceremonies Friday for the Ridgefield Outdoor Recreation Complex, throwing out ceremonial first pitches and spinning tales, as only Oz can.

“I think it was my third year here, 1979, and I went out to our field,” the longtime Ridgefield High baseball and football coach said. “It was a muddy mess, and I was just ‘razza-frazza-razza.’ Then two kids said ‘Coach, we can take our truck down to the Lewis River — I didn’t even know where that was then — and load it up with sand. So off they went, and they were gone the entire practice. When they got back, I asked them what took so long. They said ‘We nearly lost the truck. It started to sink in the sand.’ ”

Any baseball or softball coach in the Pacific Northwest could tell a story or two of their own about dealing with our spring weather.

Dirt has been a part of baseball since the days of Doubleday. You can usually spot a team’s best player by the amount of dirt on the player’s uniform.

But dirt and spring showers in the Northwest often equal mud. Mud leads to rainouts and practices in the gym.

“Usually by this time of year, we’ve got our bunt defense nailed down, because it’s about all we can do in the gym,” said Nick Allen, Ridgefield’s current baseball coach.

Coaches often wear many hats — teacher, psychologist, cheerleader. But for baseball and softball coaches , they add another title — groundskeeper.

“And I don’t even like mowing my own lawn,” Fort Vancouver baseball coach Owen Frasier said.

But this spring, a few fortunate coaches will get to spend more time coaching and less time landscaping.

Prior to this year, only one Clark County high school team played on an all-weather baseball field — King’s Way Christian which plays at neighboring Luke Jensen Park.

But this year, Ridgefield’s varsity and JV teams will play and practice on turf fields at the brand-new Ridgefield Outdoor Recreation Complex or RORC.

There are also softball fields at the RORC. And while the plan is for Ridgefield’s softball team to continue to use on-campus dirt-and-grass field, if conditions are bad, the Spudders can move to the RORC.

Fort Vancouver High School has a new all-weather turf softball field. The Trappers will host a season-opening tournament on Saturday.

Propstra Stadium at Hudson’s Bay hosted its first prep events on its new turf infield on Saturday when Washougal and Fort Vancouver played games as part of the Max Beatty Invitational hosted by Fort.

And coaches have noticed an immediate impact of these new all-weather fields.

“I came home after one of our first practices out here last week,” Allen said of the RORC. “I walked in the house and my wife says ‘What are you doing home?’ And I said ‘We’re done.’ She was like ‘Already?!? Holy cow!’ ”

Frasier understands that.

“If I had this, I could coach forever,” Frasier said of the turf field at Propstra. “When you count all the work you put into your field over the winter, and then during the season, you have use your prep period (as a teacher) to get out to the field early to get it ready for practice or a game, and then after the game … it’s a huge time commitment. And I need more time for my family.”

And while access to all-weather fields have been a blessing for some, there will be some adjustments.

For example, there is a restriction at Propstra’s field against wearing metal baseball spikes, often the only shoes baseball players own.

“You have to wear molded plastic cleats,” Frasier said. “And if you don’t have them, you have to use tennis shoes. That would be fine if the field was all-turf. But it’s just in the infield. So if you are a shortstop in tennis shoes and you have to run out to the outfield for a ball, and the grass is wet, you’re going to slip, and that’s not good.

“So then you have to get new shoes. And that could be a problem for some, especially if you don’t play here regularly. You make the playoffs. Great! Now go buy new shoes. You’ve been selected to our senior all-star game. Congratulations. Go buy some new shoes.”

So the artificial grass is not always greener. But it sure beats mud.

“A lot of games today would have gotten rained out just today because it’s wet and cold,” Ridgefield senior Kellen Bringhurst said after the Spudders’ season-opening win over Kalama on Friday at the RORC. “It’s awesome that we got to play today, get a game in.”

And the coach gets to go home to his family.

Long after his upcoming graduation, Isaiah Ross hopes to see a robust and successful swimming program when he returns to walk the halls of Washougal High School. He hopes to see banners that say “swim” hanging in the gym.

For Ross, The Columbian’s All-Region Swimmer of the Year, the Panther swimming program’s success from here on out is a source of pride. Whatever the future has in store for the program, he leaves knowing the integral part he played in its formation.

After all, Ross has been an instrumental part in building it. He was a part of the school’s first swimmers as a freshman, and he hopes his success has blazed a path for more Washougal students to pursue the sport.

“A lot of other schools have bigger programs than us,” Ross said. “Washougal doesn’t have swimming on the wall with all the other sports in the gym. Now we’ve got that kind of stuff and the program’s growing, it’s a great thing.”

Ross capped his high school career with a second- and third-place finish at the 2A state swim meet. He finished second in the 100-yard butterfly in a back-and-forth race the saw the winner, Pullman’s Holdon Elsworth, edge Ross by a half a second in the last few strides.

Ross and Camas/Washougal coach Mike Bemis’ game plan going into the prelims was to simply hold his placement at second. He did, which set up a sprint in the finals.

“I thought I would just all out race it in the finals and we had a really great race with that one,” Ross said. “He got me by a half a second, which is disappointing, but it was a really great race to have a lot of fun.”

He placed third in the 200 freestyle with a time of 1 minute, 43.05 seconds.

Ross also placed second in the 100 fly as a junior.

But Ross’ legacy at Washougal will not just be defined by his state finishes. According to Bemis, who began coaching Ross as a freshman when the schools co-opted, Ross has built legitimate momentum in the program.

“He’s been kind of the lead horse for getting a program started in Washogual, showing that they have that kind of skill and leadership going on at that school,” Bemis said. “Now we’re hoping to build off of his and Daniel Brown’s success down there.”

Next, Ross hopes to swim in college. As of now, he’s deciding between Whitworth and Redlands.

But in the meantime, he’s been talking to parents of incoming freshmen with swimming experience and telling them about the opportunity to swim at Washougal.

What started with three boys and three girls has remained steady. This year, Washougal’s roster had eight girls and three boys. Ross would like to see that grow.

“I know there’s a community here that would support it,” Ross said. “Up at Lacamas, they would give lanes, the school has to push for it. I know there’s kids out there that want to do it. I would love to see a big growing program at Washougal.”

CAMAS — Tom Christensen called Monday “the best day we’ve had in the past two weeks.”

The Woodland softball coach was talking about the weather, but it could also apply because Monday was game day.

“It was nice to get outside and play, especially when we aren’t dodging hailstorms,” Christensen said.

Kelly Sweyer went 2 for 4 with a double and two loud outs, Payten Foster was 2 for 3 and Olivia Grey struck out 15 in a three-hit shutout as the defending 2A state champion Beavers beat Camas 7-0 to open the 2019 regular season.

“We definitely picked up right where we left off with our energy,” Grey said. “It was really great to come out with a win, and not even necessarily have a 7-0 game, but to just be back on the field with my family and have a good time.”

Monday was the first full day of spring sports in Clark County, and Camas High School was evident of that, hosting baseball games and a girls tennis match in addition to the Woodland-Camas softball clash.

Christensen said the Beavers have been able to practice outdoors about half of the available days since practices began two weeks ago, as the Beavers have dodged rain, snow and hail showers, as well as the cold.

“We were outside one day for about 40 minutes when we decided to head to the gym because no one could feel their hands,” the coach said. “The baseball team stayed out, and they were giving us a hard time. But the next day, they said ‘we totally should have gone in when you did.’ ”

The Beavers are learning that to defend their state title, it’s important not to try to do too much.

“We had a jamboree on Saturday,” Christensen said. “All the kids just wanted to hit so badly that we ended not hitting much at all. But today, I like how we had good at-bats and made solid contact.”

Kaily Christensen and Sweyer had singles in the first inning to stake Grey with an early 2-0 lead. That would prove to be more than enough for the Portland State-bound senior.

Kaily Christensen and Payten Foster had key hits in a three-run sixth inning for Woodland.

Katie Hancock went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk for Camas. Opening the season against a pitcher such as Grey was tough, she said, but also valuable.

“The lesson we can all take is what to do against a fast pitcher,” Hancock said. “We know the extremes. From there, it will only get easier.”

Likewise, Woodland appreciated a season-opening test against a program that has finished fourth in the 4A state tournament three of the past four years.

“This was a good test for us,” Tom Christensen said. “Camas is a good team and they challenged us today, which we needed. … There’s only so much time you can spend hitting against the machine in the cage.”

If Monday was any indicator, it figures to be a big year for the Beavers. But for now, their focus is on what’s next: Their home opener on Tuesday against another 4A Greater St. Helens League team, Skyview.

“It’s not about the perfect season or anything like that,” Grey said. “It’s just about making sure we’re going to leave a mark on Woodland High School softball, and just work as a team. Obviously, state is going to be a big factor in everything. It’s our goal, but it’s not our main goal at the end of the day. Our main goal is to play as a family and have fun.”

WOODLAND 7, CAMAS 0

Minutes after standing tall on the podium and recieving the first-place medal in the 4A state all-around, Shea McGee was posed a question.

How did she plan to celebrate?

Take a nap and eat some food, she said.

The pizza and cake she enjoyed shortly thereafter was certainly satisfying. McGee had spent a year chasing the taste of victory after a runner-up finish in the all-around as a freshman by a margin of less than a tenth of a point.

“I had a lot more motivation this year to do better than last year,” McGee said.

This time around, McGee’s victory was as convincing as it was triumphant. She posted a 38.175 to edge Puyallup’s Rylye Anderson by almost a half a point. And she did it through flawless execution. She did not fall once in any event.

Camas coach Carol Willson called it McGee’s best-ever all-around.

The last event, the apogee of McGee’s season, was the vault. She was the last Papermaker to go in the team’s final event of the day. Up until that point, no Camas gymnast has fallen on the day. The team was on its way to a performance for the record books.

In came McGee. Stressed about sticking her landing, McGee didn’t “go for it” until her second attempt.

“If you don’t go for it the second time,” McGee said, “you’re kind of screwed, you know? So I guess I was really excited I went for it.”

With her back against the wall, she soared and nailed the landing. The crowd cheered. McGee, along with her teammates, anxiously waited for her score to pop up on the board. When the red letters flashed “9.750,” the team gasped.

The score shot McGee into first place on vault — a mark that went unchallenged after the course of the evening session. It was also the cherry on top of monumental team victory for the Papermakers, who scored the third highest team score of all time.

That moment of celebration for McGee was a signifier of the confidence she says she’s felt all season. And the victory served as the culmination of a goal McGee set a year prior, in the wake of a narrow second place state finish as a freshman.

Standing atop the podium at Samammish High School was McGee’s motivation all year.

Despite going undefeated throughout the entire regular season, coming off a second-place finish at state as a freshman, McGee was not selected to either of the all-4A Greater St. Helens League teams (voted on by league coaches), nor did she recieve honorable mention, much to the chagrin of Willson.

But McGee took the high road, saying she was happy others recieved recognition. Her goal, she said, was bigger.

“Throughout the season I kind of proved it being undefeated,” McGee said. “I didn’t need a title to prove it. I just needed to know that I proved it to myself, and if other people didn’t see that, well, I know I did it.”

Kerissa Andersen proved she is not a fluke.

But now, it is forcing the Evergreen High School senior to make a difficult decision.

When Andersen captured the 3A state bowling title as a sophomore in 2017, it was surprise to many, including Andersen.

“As a sophomore I just went in and said ‘I want to get top 5,’ ” Andersen said. “Top 5 would be the highest I could expect because as a freshman, I was 11th. So as a sophomore, I thought top 5 would be great, top 3 would be amazing. Winning it sophomore year, it was like, whoa, I have some shoes to fill now.”

Last year, Andersen finished a respectable seventh at state, although she felt she didn’t perform up to her standards. That served as an inspiration heading into her senior season.

“So then last year when I didn’t do my best, I was a little upset with myself,” she said. “I really wanted to come back this year and be ‘OK I need to prove that I’m not a one-time champ.’ That’s what I wanted to prove — that it wasn’t just luck.”

Andersen did that, and then some. Last month at Narrow Plaza Bowl in University Place, Andersen bowl a six-game series of 1,271 to win the 3A state title by a whopping 102 pins.

That performance led to Andersen earning the title of The Columbian’s All-Region girls bowler of the year for a second time.

With teammate Dakota O’Neil placing second, it capped an incredible four years of bowling at Evergreen for Andersen. The Plainsmen captured their third consecutive 3A state team title after placing second as a 4A team in Andersen’s freshman season.

“The thing I’m going to miss most about high school bowling is the girls on the team,” Andersen said. “They have become family to me.”

Andersen is big on family. She likes to spend time with her family at home, especially with her dad who introduced her to bowling 10 years ago.

“I always tell people I grew up in a bowling alley,” she said. “Watching my dad bowl, bowling just felt like something I should do. And once I started bowling, I just really, really loved it, and it just became my passion.”

Coming into her senior year, Andersen said her plan was to attend college locally, then join an adult league with her father to further hone her skills.

“I’d like to go pro,” she said. “That’s my dream. Obviously, it’s a big dream. But it’s also a doable dream. I just have work a lot harder.”

Andersen could also continue to develop her skills as a college bowler. She said two college coaches have reached out to her.

“Things are kind of changing,” she said. “I might go off to college now. I don’t know yet. I’m still kind of wishy-washy about it.”

The issue is the colleges interested in her are on the other side of the country, away from her family.

But the prospects of bowling at college excite her.

“I’m excited just to have schools that want me,” she said.

It’s somewhat difficult for Kam Osborn to pick out one defining moment from Prairie boys basketball team’s season-defining 14-game winning streak.

That’s because there’s so many, and the senior point guard played a big role in all of them.

Seven weeks went by before the Falcons dropped a game. They won a 3A bi-district championship — a first for longtime coach Kyle Brooks — and in turn, clinched a consecutive Class 3A state tournament berth to the Tacoma Dome.

So what does Osborn, The Columbian’s All-Region boys basketball player of the year, take away most from that memorable stretch run that turned their season around? How the Falcons grew together as one from starting 2-6 through their first eight games. Osborn noted Brooks’ metaphor to the team how five fingers make a fist.

“As soon as you bring it in, you’re strong like that,” Osborn said, demonstrating with his hand. “We really took that in, and started playing as a team instead of individuals. As soon as we did that we went on that streak, and did some special things.

“We surprised ourselves.”

That included home wins over 4A Skyview, handing 3A GSHL champion Kelso its only league loss, and a run in the bi-district tournament that included an Osborn game-winner against Timberline of Lacey and a notable team defensive performance against another state-bound team, Capital of Olympia.

By the time Prairie beat Kelso 66-62 in the bi-district title game, the Falcons had their winning recipe working. Far in the rear-view mirror was that 2-6 start, and Osborn revitalized his role. A point guard all his life — a position he’ll play at NAIA Oregon Tech beginning next season — and 3-year starter for Prairie, he valued his leadership duties this year more than ever on a young team featuring a number of first-year varsity players.

That meant pushing his teammates at practice, and also shifting to a more balanced scoring load in games. After two games of 37 and 30 points, Osborn finished the regular-season averaging 18.8 per game.

“Everybody was doing their job to a T,” he said, “and that’s why we were getting the wins we were.”

And his favorite highlight, he said, came beating Kelso in the teams’ third meeting in Puyallup for the bi-district title. The two teams split during the regular-season. Prairie hadn’t won a bi-district championship in Brooks’ tenure.

“I knew it was going to be a good game,” Osborn said. “The history between us … I consider them a rival.”

With it came with a personal milestone for the point guard, surpassing Dan Dickau as the school’s career scoring leader in that game. Dickau capped 1,267 career points at Prairie in 1997, the same player Osborn calls a legend in Clark County and the same player associated with where he got his start before AAU basketball, Dan Dickau Basketball Academy.

Now Osborn’s left his mark at Prairie from helping the program to three league titles, two state tournament appearances, and one elusive record.

“Getting that record is not only huge for me personally,” Osborn said, “but huge for the high school and huge for the people around me. I had great teammates who put me in a great positions to score.”
