Two high school boys basketball programs from the South Sound made history on Saturday night at a packed Tacoma Dome.
Curtis, the No. 2 seed in the 4A state tournament, opened the championship session with a thrilling 52-49 overtime win over previously undefeated defending champion and top seed Mount Si.
The area has produced more than one champion in the boys brackets in the same year seven times in history — there have been 10 years that have included multiple South Sound winners overall in the boys and girls tournaments combined — but never both at the Tacoma site.Curtis secured its third championship with the win over Mount Si — the Vikings also won it all in 1971 and 2013 — while Auburn celebrated its first title.
In 2010, Kentwood won the 4A championship in Tacoma, and Cascade Christian finished atop the 1A field in Yakima.
