The high school basketball season may be over, but there's still basketball being played. The best players from the Seamount, SPSL 3A, Narrows League and SPSL North and South will go head-to-head at the Cloud Nine All-Star Event on Friday at Auburn High School.

Here's the game schedule: The following weekend is the Washington-Oregon senior all-star games on April 6 at the Chiles Center in Portland, Ore.

Auburn Riverside pulled out a 48-40 victory against Kennedy. It wasn't pretty, but the Ravens won their second straight title. There's a story in Sunday's paper, but the game ran a little late, so look for another story in Monday's TNT. As for Oregon, this comes from the AP (I listened to part of the game on the radio before the Riverside game started)....Puyallup native Michael Meek's Southridge girls won their fourth straight Oregon title.

This was submitted for tomorrow's notebook but might end up getting cut for space, so I thought I'd throw it on the blog as well. Starbird catches Lakes’ win Former Lakes star Kate Starbird was in attendance Saturday at Hec Ed to take in Lakes’ win against Kamiakin for the fourth-place trophy. Starbird, a 1993 graduate who went on to star at Stanford for four years, recently moved to Boulder, Colo., to begin a PhD program studying technology, society and education at the University of Colorado. When she heard the Lancers were playing in Seattle at the state tournament the same weekend she would be back in town, she hoped they’d make it to Saturday so she could watch them play. After the game, Starbird joined the team on the court for a photo with their trophy. “It was a pleasure having Kate here,” Lakes coach Dave McEachern said. “Just having her around, being part of the program and supporting the team from afar. She supports us from afar and we know that and appreciate that.” The Lancers’ fourth-place finish Saturday was the first girls state basketball trophy since Starbird led Lakes to fifth-place finishes in 1991 and 1993.

It's 62-38 Lakes after three and, to be honest, I've stopped tracking the points (that's what post-game stat sheets are for!). Lakes went on a 21-1 run over a little more than four minutes to pretty much run the game out of reach. Lakes will take the fourth-place trophy with the win, ending its season at 24-2, losing to only Kennedy and Auburn Riverside, the two teams playing for the title tonight. edit Lakes grad Kate Starbird made a guest appearance at the game, watching her alma mater take home the fourth place trophy.
