Federal Way girls basketball coach Danny Graham made it clear that the 64-55 victory over visiting Thomas Jefferson Thursday was supposed to be that way. Hard. Not an easy, fun win for the current AP poll 10th-ranked Eagles.
“TJ always plays us well,” said Graham. “First off, they are well coached by Jerry Krueger. They always get to their spots on the floor. That is a credit to what their coach does.”
Both these teams’ records have already got themselves credited with qualification for the postseason tournaments coming up very shortly.
