Middle school boys basketball

The Oak Harbor Middle School 7th and 8th grade boys basketball teams were in action for the first time this season on December 4th at OHMS against Burlington-Edison.

The 7th grade roster has 10 boys, and they played a decent game. Although the final score was 52-39 in favor of Burlington, the boys didn’t play badly. In fact, for most of the first quarter, the scores were only 1 or 2 points apart. Unofficially, Drew Washington was the leading scorer with 22 points, while Andrae Gray, Anthony Smith Matthew Zafra and Bobby Grace also got on the board.
The 8th grade team was all Burlington. Again, while the Panthers made some mistakes, they didn’t play bad basketball, but Burlington was a team on a mission. Even their junk shots were going in. Burlington has a very good basketball team. On the plus side, the Panthers did put up 26 points, spread out among several players. The lead scorer was Mark Fabro with 11, followed by Trent Cargill and Bernard DeGuzman, both with 5.

Next up for the Panthers is a trip to Cascade MS in Sedro-Woolley, while Anacortes comes to North Whidbey on December 9th.
