The Shorewood boys’ basketball team defeated Shorecrest when Brandon Mar got a rebound, basket and a foul as the clock expired, adding a free throw with no time remaining, to complete a 61-60 Thunderbirds' comeback in overtime. Mar finished with 18 points, and Taylor Freeman netted 22 for Shorewood, which defeated Shorecrest in the Wesco 3A opener for both teams.
The victory gives Shorewood a 1-0 Wesco 3A record (4-0 overall). Shorecrest is 0-1, 3-1.
Conin Oishi led the Scots with 22 points -- including two free throws with 14 seconds left in overtime that gave Shorecrest the lead until Mar's late-game heroics.

Top three teams in each Wesco 3A division qualify for the Northwest 3A tournament, along with two teams from among non-qualifying Wesco teams and Ferndale of the Northwest 3A/2A/1A Conference.
I'm a Scots fan but Brandon Mar's shot with OT expired and all the noise in that gym was as clutch at it gets. Congratulations to the T-birds for the win and to the Scots for a great performance. That was one of the most exciting local rivalry games I've seen. Thanks guys for your all-out efforts!!
