WENATCHEE – Seattle U recruit Aaron Leon netted a hat trick to lead third-seeded Eastmont past No. 2 seed Wenatchee to earn the CBBN district’s second berth to the Class 4A state tournament.

The Wildcats (13-4-1) avenged two regular-season losses to their rivals to earn their second straight state berth, and third in the past four seasons. They’ll learn their first-round opponent Sunday when the brackets are unveiled by the WIAA.

As the three seed, Eastmont had to win twice to get to the winner-to-state contest. The Wildcats rolled past Moses Lake, 8-0, and Sunnyside, 6-2, to advance in the six-team bracket.

After a 4-1 won loss 10 days earlier to the Panthers, Eastmont went on a four-game winning streak, outscoring opponents 26-5.

Wenatchee (12-6) was looking to return to the state tournament for the fourth time in five seasons. The Panthers, who fell 4-2 to Davis in Thursday championship match, placed third in last year’s tournament.
