Overlake’s boys lacrosse team — which features some Bear Creek players — defeated Peninsula-Gig Harbor, 18-8, last Friday in the second round of the state playoffs.
The Owls (9-4-0) will next play top-ranked Garfield (10-0-0) in the quarterfinals at 5 p.m. tonight at Genesee Park in south Seattle.
Against Peninsula-Gig Harbor, Overlake fell behind, 2-1, at the end of the first quarter, but scored nine in the second to take a lead it would never relinquish, according to coach Greg Butler. Barrett Jenness led the Owls with five goals, while Curtis Yokoyama and Colton Umberger had three each.
