Shorecrest boys basketball team win 3A District One championship

The Shorecrest boys basketball team beat undefeated Stanwood 63-59 Friday night to win the 3A District One championship.

The Scots (17-6) trailed by six with 4 minutes to play against the No. 2 ranked Spartans (22-1), but they outscored them by ten down the stretch to nail down the victory.

Daniel Gebremichael scored 11 of his team-leading fifteen points in the fourth quarter, while Benny Ortega really sparked the Scots in the third quarter with eleven points of his own, finishing the night with 13.

Shorecrest advances to Regionals next weekend, at a time and location, and against an opponent, to be determined.
