Homecoming Game Against Tough St. Georgeby

PRESCOTT - Friday afternoon the WP Tigers play at home for Prescott's Homecoming game. As­sistant coach Bart Baxter is excited about the game. "It should be pretty fun," he said. "St. George will not want to lose again."

The Tigers are ranked second in the state for 2B/1B teams and first in Eastern Washington with their 10-0 record. Friday's game will be against Spokane area's St. George's School, a tough team the Tigers routed earlier in the season 3-2.

Saturday the Tigers de­feated Northwest Christian 3-2.

The first goal was scored by Omar Virgen, unassisted. The second goal was by Miquel Velazco, assisted by Luis Torres. Luis Torres made the third goal, assisted

Omar Virgen. Tuesday afternoon the Tigers played Moses Lake Christian at home. The final score was 6-0 in WP's favor.

The match was tougher than anticipated as the team had three starters and a fourth team member who were unable to play because of their grades. These players will have to sit out Friday's Homecoming game as well. "Fortunately we have large number of strong play­ers on the team," Baxter said. "It gave a few players the op­portunity to play some new positions. We have a pretty strong bench." Friday's Homecoming game is at 4 p.m. Halftime events will include presenta­tion of Prescott's Homecom­ing court. A bonfire behind the ball fields will take place in Prescott following Friday night's football game in Waitsburg.
