Sports wrap

Federal Way 2, Rogers 0

Federal Way rallied past Rogers in a Saturday afternoon home match to open the West Central District 3/4 playoffs.

The win kept the Eagles alive for at least another day in the Class 4A postseason picture, pitting them against North Puget Sound League rival Kentwood in another loser-out affair at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Art Crate Field next to Bethel High School in Graham.

If Federal Way gets past that match it will find itself in a double elimination situation, having to lose two straight to miss state.

The Eagles lost to the Conquerors, 3-1, during the regular season.

Stadium 2, TJ 0

Thomas Jefferson found itself in a more forgiving situation in its District 3/4 opener Saturday, coming in as a seeded team in double elimination.

The Raiders were the No. 1 Class 3A seed out of the mixed classification NPSL.

Stadium of Tacoma and the South Puget Sound League's 3A division came in and dealt TJ defeat No. 1, but the Raiders get a second chance Tuesday when they meet Bainbridge for a 5:30 p.m. battle at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

TJ would be back in double elimination if it can get past the Spartans.
