They've faced one of the toughest schedules of any 6A team and lost their starting point guard early in the season. The Beavers will have to earn a top-three spot in the Metro League for an automatic bid to the playoffs. I wouldn't want to play them in the first round. Beaverton takes on 5A-ranked Wilsonville on Tuesday and goes to Sunset on Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://www.instagram.com/p/DUMkgeZjwoj/?img_index=1","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"instagram","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/p/DUMkgeZjwoj/?img_index=1 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
