Last Friday, Olympia didn't have too much trouble with Graham-Kapowsin as they won 61-47. Given the Bears' advantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 36th, while the Eagles are ranked 231st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Meanwhile, Bethel lost 80-60 to Bonney Lake on Friday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Bison have suffered against the Panthers since January 27, 2017.

Bethel's defeat dropped their record down to 2-15. As for Olympia, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 16-3 record this season.

Everything came up roses for Olympia against Bethel in their previous meeting back in December of 2024, as the team secured a 77-35 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Olympia since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
