Wapato beat Grandview in the championship something like 78-66. Grandview played the tournament short handed with only 4 varsity players, Lopez, Medina, Guillen, and Sears. Wapato was without Lavell Harris. Wapato will be flat out good. They run up and down the floor, pass well and play good defense. Smiscon is a lightning quick point guard and really makes things happen. Wapato jumped out to a 20 plus point lead early, but CJ Lopez once again made things interesting with his three point shooting nailing nine from behind the arc, and also made three free throws on a three he was fouled on. When both teams have all their players we could be looking at some Grandview Wapato games this year that have the flair of 1999-2001. I really credit Grandview's young sophmores to be for playing an entire JV tournament, as well as contributing minutes to the Varsity's cause. Hats off to Chris Hernandez, Gerardo Ramirez, George Magana, and Matt Garcia. Frankie Medina was the lone senior playing for the hounds this weekend, and after missing last year with a football injury it will be fun seeing him lead this exciting team come winter. Grandview, Wapato, Prosser, East Valley, Ellensburg, Ephrata, possibly Toppenish should be a very exciting and fun league. I sure hope we get three births to state in the CWAC.
