Broc Johnson of Todd Beamer highlighted local players' action at the state tournament held in Bellingham.
Johnson posted a 73 and a 74 for a total of 147, giving him second place in the Class 4A boys action.
Thomas Jefferson's Erik Jarvey turned in rounds of 78 and 76 for a 154 total.
Federal Way's area players lit up the field in the South Puget Sound League North vs. South All-Stars game well - a showcase event that pitted top seniors of the two divisions against each other. The North won both games, 5-2, at the Auburn Mountainview High School field Thursday.
Winning the first game as a pitcher was none of our pitchers, but closing it was.
The Todd Beamer Titans got where most want to get -- the Final Four -- but could not get past Puyallup in the 4A state semifinal, losing, 1-0. Then, the next night they lost to Eastlake 2-1 in action at Harry E. Lang Stadium in Lakewood.
But the Titans took fourth place. That's the good news, among other good news like being one of the four best boys soccer teams in the state of Washington out of 90 some schools in the 4A classification.

To the Editor:
This is in response to Ray Koenig's editorial asserting that "Traditional Marriage" supporters are not bigots.
To begin with, I should point out that the words in his editorial are not his own. They were taken verbatim from a "Featured Alert" put out by a group called "The Center For Moral Clarity".
To the Editor:
While watching "The Protestant Reformation" on the History International channel; I saw the following quote from an address by Abraham Lincoln, in 1861.
"IN GREAT CONTESTS, EACH PARTY CLAIMS TO ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WILL OF GOD,
BOTH MAY BE, BUT ONE MUST BE WRONG.
GOD CANNOT BE FOR AND AGAINST THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME."
What a shame that today's religious and political leaders can't realize this.
Marianne Harlor is a painter who prefers to be immersed in the scene she's painting - so she paints on-site, outside.
Her work will be on display inside Federal Way City Hall through July 15 as part of a rotating art exhibit sponsored by the Federal Way Arts Commission.
Harlor, a Northeast Tacoma resident, paints with mostly oil and watercolor.
