Middle School Boys Basketball - NWMS - Dec 9th

North Whidbey Middle School hosted Anacortes for their first home game of the season last Tuesday, December 9th, with both the 7th and 8th grade teams in action.
First up was the 7th grade team. Of the ten players suited up, maybe one was over 5’7” tall, while Anacortes had a couple of players touching 6 feet. As a result, Anacortes took control of the game early. The Cougars got some points on the board, led by point guard Jahleel Vester with 11. Antonio Unpingco scored 2 in the 4th period, while Tom Horton also scored in the 4th period in addition to a free throw in the 2nd. In the end, Anacortes was just too much for the Cougars to handle, and the final score wound up 59-16.
The NWMS 8th grade team had some size, but so did Anacortes. For the whole game there were at least 2 6-footers on the court for the Seahawks, and because of that, they were able to snag more than their share of rebounds. The Cougars fought hard, but found themselves down 24-13 at halftime. Anacortes had a good team that played well, and the earned the 62-39 win. Unofficially, leading the Cougars in scoring was Devon Loftin with 18, followed by Tyler Young with 11.
