Hockinson Boys: Hawks want to tap championship spirit

First-year coach Jon Warner doesn’t have to look far to find a championship mentality at Hockinson.

Three of his starters were members of the Hockinson football team, which won the Class 2A state championship earlier this month.

While the football team’s title run prevented Warner from having his full roster until Dec. 4, he hopes that gridiron success carries over to the hardwood.

“There’s a culture of winning there that we hope translates into our basketball team as well,” Warner said. “The blueprint is there. We just have to follow it.”

Sophomores Peyton Brammer and Sawyer Racanelli both have the strength, mobility and hands befitting their wide-receiver position in football. Canon Racanelli brings a quarterback’s leadership presence.

“I hope to see that we’re relentlessly attacking on both ends of the floor,” Warner said. “We want to play fast.”
