High School playoffs continue - Backs-To-The-Wall Time

All four local teams dropped their first round games earlier this week, bringing about loser-out games this weekend in the District One 3A boys and girls basketball tournaments.

Shorewood's girls fell at home to a rejuvenated Everett team Tuesday night.  They'll host Meadowdale at 7 Friday night.  The teams split their season series, each team holding serve on their home court.

Shorewood's boys lost at Oak Harbor on Wednesday. Saturday night at 7 (in a game that could be the final one played in the T-Birds dark and dingy, yet homey, gym),  they'll face a scrappy Marysville-Getchell squad they thumped by 35 points in the Chargers gym.  

Shorecrest's girls were flogged in Ferndale Tuesday. They'll play host to a Marysville-Pilchuck team they beat 49-36 at SC in early January.

The Shorecrest boys may have the toughest task of all,  making the long trek up to Ferndale to face the Golden Eagles for their Saturday night game at 7.
