YAKIMA, Wash. &#8212; After a while, Grandview’s boys just had to take it on faith. There was a bigger picture to consider, so deal with the relentless grunt work even if it hurts like blazes.

Getting revenge for a state loss to Elma a year ago.

		<description><![CDATA[YAKIMA, Wash. &#8212; As expected, River Ridge will take the floor for tonight’s 9 o’clock Class 2A state girls championship game in the SunDome. The Lacey-based Hawks were one of the favorites coming in, and have thus far lived up to their billing.
