Santa Slam - Coupeville vs Sedro-Woolley

It was an interesting first day of the 1st annual Santa Slam at Oak Harbor High School for the boys. The two-day tournament originally was to feature Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Sedro-Woolley and Ferndale teams, but Ferndale was forced to drop out at the last moment, so events were revised, with the first day being just Sedro vs Coupeville at all 3 levels - freshman, JV and Varsity. Oak Harbor will play Sedro-Woolley on day 2, and the Oak Harbor-Coupeville contest will move to December 31st.

In the Freshman game, it was all Sedro from the start. With only 6 players total, the Coupeville boys ran out of gas, and Sedro ran to a large victory.
The JV game looked as if it would go the same way, with Sedro-Woolley jumping out to a 15-point lead. Coupeville was able to close the game to 5 at the half, and late in the game closed it even further to just 3 points, but Sedro was able to drain a couple of key free throws to preserve the win.
The varsity teams played a close game throughout. In the first period, Coupeville seemed in control, but Sedro stayed with them. Late in the game Coupeville had built a 6-point lead at one time, but at the end of regulation the game was tied. In the overtime period, with the score again tied, 70-70 and only 12 seconds left, Sedro called a timeout. It worked, as the Cubs were able to get a 3-point shot off and after bouncing around a bit, dropped in the net with just 2 seconds, and Coupeville just didn't have enough time to inbounds the ball and get their own shot off.
