The Renton RedHawkS saw their state hopes take a hit Saturday night, falling to the Bremerton Knights in the Class 2A regional playoff game on February 28, 2026. Bremerton used a fast-paced play style and strong perimeter shooting to build a double-digit lead, putting pressure on Renton to play from behind for most of the night. Despite a gritty second-half effort from the RedHawkS, the Knights maintained control down the stretch to secure the win and punch their ticket to the state quarterfinals.
Yet Renton’s season is far from over! The RedHawkS now shift their focus to a loser-out matchup against the Lynden Lions at the Yakima Valley SunDome, where a win keeps their state tournament dreams alive. The team remains confident heading into the high-stakes showdown, leaning on their resilience and experience in pressure situations. With everything on the line, Renton will look to regroup quickly and deliver one of their strongest performances of the season under the bright lights in Yakima.
