One high school basketball team in East Pierce County has already clinched a berth in the Class 1A boys basketball state tournament. The Cascade Christian Cougars did that with a convincing victory against Vashon Island on Feb. 20.

Here is a list of local teams still alive in a quest to advance to the state basketball tournament in their respective classifications as of Feb. 23:  Bonney Lake Panthers girls basketball team (3A), Sumner Spartans girls basketball team (3A), Rogers Rams girls basketball team (4A), Puyallup Vikings girls basketball team (4A), Cascade Christian Cougars girls basketball team (1A), Chief Leschi Warriors boys basketball team (2B) and the Puyallup Vikings boys basketball team (4A).
