The Shorewood girls’ basketball team continues in the Northwest District 3A tournament Tuesday after the Thunderbirds defeated Meadowdale Friday, Feb. 1, in a game that eliminated Meadowdale from the tournament.

Shorewood takes a 15-7 record into the elimination game against Ferndale (18-3) at 7 p.m. Tuesday in what will be the last game in the old gymnasium at Shorewood High School. The Thunderbirds get the home-court advantage because the tournament agreement between the Western and Northwest conference 3A teams gives home-court advantage to the Wesco team when the two teams came into the tournament with the same seeding.

The winner of the Shorewood-Ferndale game advances to a Friday, Feb. 8. 6 p.m. game at Lynnwood High School against the winner of a Tuesday game between Shorecrest (12-10) and Stanwood (18-4). The winner of the Saturday 6.m. game gets the District’s No. 3 berth in state and regional 3A play .The 6 p.m. Friday game will be followed by the District championship game at 8 at Lynnwood between Everett (12-10) and Glacier Peak (17-5).

In Shorewood’s 59-43 home victory over Meadowdale, the Thunderbirds led 19-9 after the first quarter, 26-18 at halftime and 44-28 after three quarters before holding the 16-point lead through the final period.
