The Bulldogs (2-9) have had an up and down season to date, highlighted by an impressive win over Medical Lake, and will look to take the first step to securing the all-important No. 1 seed for the district tournament. The boys game tips off on Saturday at 6 p.m. after the girls game at 4:30 p.m. at Les Rogers Court.
