Josh Freeman stands at the line prepared to drop in one of his 11 fourth quarter points in a gritty 57-46 win over Ferndale. The Anacortes High School Seahawks varsity team, coached by Rick Mergenthaler, continues to show the kind of strength and team play that could lead to the state playoffs. This game was closer than the score would indicate, but the Seahawks had essentially wrapped up the win with two minutes remaining. KLKI broacaster Eric Tietjen said this was the first high school game he recalls where one of the teams (Ferndale) failed to score even one point from the free throw line. They were 0-2, more evidence of Anacortes’ defensive strength. I had the pleasure of watching the game with Gene Ferrario, childhood running buddy and AHS basketball player in the late Sixties. Gene’s nephew, Mike, had a great game.
