The Kentridge High boys basketball team advanced to the semifinals at district play last week, while the Kentridge girls fell out after the second round.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Chargers beat Spanaway Lake in the first round 52-47, and squeezed by Timberline 64-61.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cBoth (Spanaway Lake and Timberline) were athletic and they prepped a lot, they\u2019ve given us a challenge this year,\u201d said Kentridge coach Dave Jamison.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Chargers advances to play Kentwood on Thursday. With a 0-2 record against the Conquerors, Jamison says his team is excited but not nervous because a loss won\u2019t knock them out of a placement.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cThe good news it\u2019s only for seeding, if you win you\u2019re guaranteed a regional berth close to home and get a lower seed,\u201d he said. \u201cI think the boys are excited to play them again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n A Kentridge victory will advance the team to play either Federal Way or Curtis.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cFederal Way is ranked higher and Curtis is quick,\u201d said Jamison. \u201cBoth teams are quick, Federal Way is probably a little deeper or a little longer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n The Kentridge girls took a solid victory over Rogers but then fell against Bellarmine Prep and Tahoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Alicia Dugan\u2019s 23 points and three 3-pointers wasn\u2019t enough to support Kentridge in its second regional game against Bellermine Prep.
