For the North Mason community, the week of May 8 delivered something worth paying attention to: three spring sports programs heading into district postseason play at the same time. Softball, baseball, and track — all three carrying Belfair into competition beyond the Olympic League regular season. Here’s the full picture.
Softball: The Walk-Off That Meant Everything
The Lady Bulldogs closed their home schedule on Friday, May 8 with the game they needed. Trailing Bainbridge Island in their final regular-season game at home in Belfair, North Mason rallied for a 6-5 walk-off win — the kind of moment that defines late-season momentum. The victory clinched their berth in the 2A District 2/3 tournament at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey.
North Mason finishes the regular season 10-7 overall, 5-5 in the Olympic League. For context: the team entered May having swept Sequim and topped Bremerton after a mid-season stretch that had tested them. The final push earned them the postseason, and they go in on a winning note.
The district tournament bracket had not been posted as of Friday evening. When it drops, it will be at wiaa.com. The 2A state tournament is May 22-23 at Carlon Park in Selah — a reachable target for a team entering districts with momentum.
Baseball: Regular Season Done, Districts Ahead
The Bulldogs baseball team also wrapped their regular season this week, finishing 7-7 overall and 4-6 in the Olympic League. They played out their final three games — at Olympic on Tuesday, hosting Olympic on Wednesday, and taking on Klahowya in a non-conference game Thursday. District bracket and seeding for baseball runs through the same 2A District 2/3 portal. Two programs from North Mason heading into district play simultaneously is not something the community should take for granted.
Track: Three Olympic League Champions From North Mason
The track program had already made its mark before this week. At the 2A Olympic League Championships, North Mason produced three individual event winners: Adrianna Tupolo won the discus, Adrianne Tupolo claimed the long jump, and Samantha Neil took the pole vault. The girls program placed 8th out of 30 teams at the 66th Shelton Invitational — a field that draws programs across the South Sound region.
Three event titles at the league level. In a 2A program serving a community the size of North Mason, that’s a notable depth of talent. The track team turns to district competition with individual state aspirations on the line for the event winners.
What This Means for the North Mason Community
North Mason High School is the only public high school serving Belfair, Allyn, Tahuya, and Union. When its athletic programs post results at the district level, the community that follows them extends well beyond the student body and parent section. Local businesses, longtime residents, and families who graduated from NMHS decades ago share a stake in how these teams perform.
The week of May 8 produced a walk-off softball win, a baseball team that competed its full schedule, and track athletes who won league titles. Whether you follow the box scores closely or just catch updates at the coffee counter on SR-3, this is a good week to be a North Mason Bulldog.
