(Yakima) -- Sequim is assured of its highest state boys basketball placing in the past 25 years after the Wolves held on and beat the Burlington-Edison Tigers 52-49 Friday morning at the Yakima Valley SunDome.
Sequim will play Clover Park, a 63-49 winner of West Valley of Yakima Friday, in a Saturday morning game at 8 with the 4th and 6th place trophies at stake.
It will be a rematch of the West Central District championship contest won by the Warriors 60-45 on February 18th.

Sequim had an early lead, but Burlington-Edison scored the final 8 points of the opening frame and led 13-6 at the first break.
The Tigers' Isaak Davies started the contest with 8 of his 15 points in the first quarter, including a pair of treys.
The Wolves trailed 24-18 at intermission after being severely outrebounded in the first 16 minutes by an imposing Tigers front line, including 6-7 Austin Von Herbulis, 6-4 Jeremy Canniff and 6-3 Daron Browning.
He had 13 points before fouling out with 1:13 remaining.
The Wolves solved a 2-1-2 Tiger zone defense with Jayson Brocklesby playing high post at the free throw stripe after halftime.
Brocklesby had 15 of his game-high 20 points in the second half, connecting on 10 of 15 free throws in the contest.
The Wolves were ahead 32-31 after three quarters.
Sequim took the lead for good with 5:25 left on a Gabe Carter assist to Alex Barry for a layup - 37-36.
For the second straight day, Sequim fans had to sweat out a close finish.
The Wolves had a 46-38 lead with 1:55 to go after a pair of Brocklesby charity tosses, but Carlos Navarro's triple cut it 46-42 with 1:13 remaining.
Gabe Carter made a free throw at the 52 second mark, making it 49-45, then Ruby Mataya's layup narrowed it to 49-47 with 39 seconds left.
Sequim's Anthony Pinza dropped in two free throws extending it to 51-47 with 28 ticks remaining.
Alex Barry hit one of two charity tosses, leaving the door open for B-E with 17 seconds to go at 51-48.
Davies dribbled the right wing into the closing seconds and attempted to draw a Sequim foul on a game-tying 3-ball attempt.
No whistle sounded and Carter secured his 12th rebound for the win.
Sequim will have either 4th or 6th place in the tourney, its highest finish since Coach Rick Kaps and his son, Ryan, led the Wolves to 2nd in state in 1988.
