Hawks 7th in state
Anacortes Seahawks had plenty to cheer about Friday afternoon after a tough two-point win that sent the boys team into a 1:30 p.m. Saturday game with Mt. Baker at the State 2A Basketball Tournament in Tacoma. Anacortes Seahawk boys lost 42-40 in overtime Saturday to close their season, 7th in state. They had lost a heartbreaker Thursday to Mark Morris, losing by a bucket dropped in the closing seconds. Friday they came out on top in a similar last-second situation, defeating cross-county rival Burlington-Edison 47-45 to advance with a shot at fourth place. A previously unbeaten Mark Morris lost the state title game to Lynden Saturday. This photo of the Seahawks bench was taken at the last home game. The AHS girls also dropped a tough game Thursday, and were eliminated Friday in a loser-out game against Sehome, 57-52. Congratulations, girls, and Coach Ken Welk, on an incredible 25-3 season with 22 wins in a row before district and state tournament losses. Congratulations boys, and Coach Mergenthaler, on a tremendous season.
