Shorecrest boys clinch spot in district basketball tournament

The Shorecrest boys’ basketball team has clinched a place in the Northwest District 2A tournament Feb. 13-20.

Meanwhile the Shorecrest girls’ team is close to qualifying for the district tournament Feb. 14-21.

Either team can win a tournament place by finishing sixth or higher in the seven-team Western Conference 3A/2A division. Either would join 2A teams from the Cascade Conference and the Northwest Conference in an eight-team district tournament. The top four Northwest District 2A teams qualify for state play.

The Shorecrest boys clinched the district-tournament berth despite a Tuesday loss to first-place Glacier Peak. A Lynnwood loss meant that Shorecrest couldn’t finish worse than sixth.

The girls stand fourth and can clinch a district-tournament berth with a victory at Meadowdale Friday.

Shorecrest is the only 2A school in its division.
