Saturday’s Class 4A regional-round boys basketball game between defending state champion Mount Si and host Auburn will be anything but ordinary.
There is a homecoming aspect to it.
Welcome home, Chase Mentink.
Mentink began the season with Auburn, but returned to Snoqualmie in midseason and now plays for the Wildcats in this important playoff game.

Mount Si 23, Auburn 16: What a turnaround for the Wildcats, sparked by Mentink, who previously played at Auburn, and Hennig, who has 12 points. Auburn went scoreless in the second quarter, missing all sixteen field goals.
FIRST QUARTER
Auburn 16, Mount Si 8: It couldn’t have been a better start for Auburn (10-0), and a worse start for the defending Class 4A champions.
