Amidst transitions and high expectations, the Deer Park Lady Stags shine in a thrilling pursuit of a second state championship, bidding farewell to their 1A era with a string of victories and standout performances.
Albeit in a different fashion, the Deer Park Lady Stags took another step towards making history on Saturday with a first-round (regional) win over Bellevue Christian 41-35 at their postseason home away from home West Valley High School. With the victory, Deer Park advances to the Thursday 9:00 pm quarterfinal game against the winner of the Wednesday matchup between eighth-seeded Toppenish and number nine Cashmere needing one more win for the program’s first-ever state trophy.
