The Roughriders (7-3, No. 15 Ratings Percentage Index) are making their first trip to state in more than a decade. They were seeded No. 16 in the 16-team 2A tournament even though there were two teams in the tournament — Ephrata and WF West that were lower in RPI. Tumwater (10-0) is the No. 1 seed.

The Port Angeles soccer team (11-6) was also seeded No. 16 in the state tournament and on Monday they were already traveling across the state to play No. 1 West Valley (Spokane) (18-0). That game will be at 5 p.m. today at University High School in Spokane.

Sequim (13-4) got a little better draw. The Wolves were seeded No. 10 and will play on the road at No. 7 Ridgefield at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Ridgefield High School.

Neah Bay (7-2) got a nice seed in the 1B state football playoffs as the Red Devils will not have to play a top three team until the state semifinals. Neah Bay is a No. 5 seed in the state 1B playoffs and will play No. 12 seed Winlock (5-4) at Forks High School at 5 p.m. Friday. The winner will get to play at No. 4 Liberty Christian next week.

In volleyball, the Neah Bay girls begin play Wednesday in the state 1B tournament at the Yakima SunDome on Wednesday. Neah Bay is seeded No. 2 at the tournament and begins play at 1:30 p.m. against the winner of Fellowship Christian and Columbia Adventist. The Red Devils play again at 9 p.m. if they win and 5:15 p.m. if they lose.
