Not only was Zillah vs Granger the place to be Tuesday night, it was the only place to be Tuesday night. As nearly every other team in the Yakima Valley was taking the night off.
In the moment it seemed the end of the world for Zillah. There would be no perfect season t-shirts, no legendary win streak to start the year. But after reflecting on the performance, Coach Mengarelli more than understood the consequences of the game...
Zillah is coming off a 1A State Championship season, and it would be easy to assume this team is not as motivated following a program-defining season. But that is not the case at all.
