Cashmere students, players recognized at NCW Senior Game

CHELAN – The Cashmere Bulldogs were all-in at the NCW Senior Game played at Chelan High School on March 10, where even their supporters were a force, winning the Best Student Section from the Chelan County Officials Association. The Bulldogs also won the Caribou Trail League Sportsmanship Award.

The Bulldogs’ Katie Piepel, Brianna Talley, and Landon Baker joined the best District 6 high school basketball players who came together at Chelan High School on March 10 for an afternoon of high-powered competition and crowd-pleasing excitement.

The All-League players represented a spectrum of court talent from 4A Eastmont in the Columbia Basin Big-9 to Entiat in the Central Washington 1B. 

Four teams - two boys and two girls – were evenly divided, with A and B league standouts on each. 

Through a hail of three-point shots, the boys Blue Team maintained a narrow lead though most of the game and, despite being challenged late in the fourth quarter, held on to win, 94-87.
