Hoquiam, WA Sports Contests
Basketball is one of the strong suits of the Hoquiam High School Athletics department and they gladly proved this in 2004 when they became state champions and won the 2A championship with a deliberate and outstanding 28 wins and no loss record to beat. And proudly with much pomp, Hoquiam City and its very proud residents can lay claim to a whole lot of other sporting conquest throughout its very passionate sports history but this is not the only thing the local people are so stirred about.
In 2006, the town again showed its athletic prowess by re asserting its wicked mastering of the Aberdeen city football team in a 14 point defeat of the 100 year old rival 20-6 played in the beautiful and historically rich landmark the venerable Olympic Stadium. This surely kept the age old if not ancient rivalry between the two cities that exist side by side alive and kicking for many more years to come.
One of the biggest events for Hoquiam and one of the most anticipated is the Grizzly Alumni Cross Country Invitational run. An event that thousand of participants hope and dream of joining not just because it is one of the most competitive running events if not the largest held in the west coast of Washington, but also the most pleasurable because of the sights and sounds that the city has to offer not only to the participants of the run but to the countless thousands who come to bear witness to the event and enjoy the natural beauty.
The city offers a plethora of other sporting meets that give aficionados a variety of interesting events to choose from. It has its world famous Logger’s Playday an annual event that happens every September, same month as the volleyball tourney and of course the Alumni wrestling matches carried out during the start of the year in January. These collection of competitive events keep alive the spirit of sportsmanship and sense community belonging for the people of the city in the so called Olympic Peninsula.
The residents from here and incidentally Aberdeen do not only expend their energy and time in proving their sports prowess through athletic meets, but also utilize much effort and service for the more needy of their communities, this is made possible by the annual “Food Ball” that is conducted to raise food supplies for distribution to the much more low-income families in the area. This demonstrates the actual reason why Hoquiam City and Aberdeen is so keen in sports, to foster friendship and community service.
The city also became the base for the Western Baseball League’s Grays Harbor Gulls from the year 1995 to 1997. The games they played were held at the Olympic Stadium, which is listed at the National Registry of Historic Places. In place of the baseball team the stadium is now the proud home of the Grays Harbor Bearcats a team under development for the North American Football League or NAFL.
Other exciting and worthy athletic events and sporting meets held or sponsored in town are the Aberdeen versus Hoquiam football match, which has a one hundred year history, played in the equally historically rich Olympic Stadium, The Grizzly Alumni Cross Country event, the largest cross country running match in the West Coast of Washington. The Hoquiam Alumni Wrestling Match, a must see and the Hoquiam Volleyball tournament held on the same month as the Logger’s Playday celebrations.
The State Championships won by Hoquiam throughout the last decades or so 2007 – Girls Wrestling, 2006 – Girls Fast pitch, 2004 – Boys Basketball, 1988 – Boys Wrestling, 1983 – Boys Track & Field, 1980 – Boys Baseball, 1942 – Boys Basketball, 1939 – Boys Basketball. The town residents have always been supportive not only of local sports but also of state and national athletics, which reflect the positive and competitive attitude of this small town with a big sporting heart.
