Garfield vs Auburn Preview
Aaron Orbeck
The Garfield Bulldogs will face off on March 3rd at the Tacoma Dome against the Auburn Trojans in the quarterfinals of the state tournament.
The Trojans defeated Kennewick high school 69-33 in the first round and are the 2nd seed in the tournament. With the Bulldogs as the 1st seed and Auburn as the 2nd, this matchup is particularly important for both teams as it is likely going to be their toughest game of the tournament.
The Bulldogs have history on their side as they defeated Auburn in the previous meeting in the finals of the Hardwood Invitational tournament in December. However, the Trojans are coming off a dominant performance in their district tournament where they defeated Timberline in the finals.
