Shorewood boys fighting for tournament position in games Tuesday and Thursday

The Shorewood boys’ basketball team could wrap up a berth in the Northwest District 3A tournament Tuesday in a home game against last-place Lynnwood.
 

The Thunderbirds (5-7 Wesco 3A, 8-10 overall) hold fifth place in the division going into the 7:30 p.m. game with Lynnwood (1-12, 2-17). The top six teams qualify for the District tournament beginning Feb. 10.
 

A Shorewood victory either Tuesday against Lynnwood or Thursday at Meadowdale would assure the Thunderbirds at least a tie for sixth, and if either Everett (4-8, 6-12) or Oak Harbor (4-8, 5-13) loses at least one game, the T-birds would clinch a tournament spot.
 

If Shorewood wins both games, the Thunderbirds qualify for the tournament no matter what the teams behind them do.
 

The T-birds could qualify for post-season play with two losses unless Everett and Oak Harbor both finish with two victories.
 

Shorewood was left in a three-way battle for the last two tournament berths when the Thunderbirds lost to first-place Glacier Peak (12-0,16-3) Friday.
 

In Shorewood’s 62-55 loss at Glacier Peak, the Thunderbirds couldn’t overcome a big Glacier Peak third-quarter surge. Semir Kadiric led Shorewood with 16 points; Josh Hawkinson scored 11; Peter Berquist had 10; and Ben Andrews and Gage Carroll each added 8.
 

At Glacier Peak 62. Shorewood 55
 

Shorewood       15   8 12  20 — 55
Glacier Peak     15 10 20  17 — 62
