Newberg was playing Saturday vs. Centennial to advance to the “Elite Eight” schools vying for the Class 6A state championship. The George Fox women faced Louisiana College Friday and University of Puget Sound Saturday to earn a berth in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Division III national championships, a tournament they won last year with a perfect 32-0 record.

Assuming George Fox beats Louisiana College Friday night in the playoffs of the Division III national women’s basketball tournament (we’re confident they will), and given that Newberg High School easily dispatched South Salem Wednesday in the first round of the Class 6A boys basketball tournament, it’s time for Newberg residents to step up their support.
