Saturday afternoon, the 7th and 8th grade girls AAU basketball teams were both in action in their final game of the S.W.I.S.H league in Skagit County. The 7th grade girls were at LaVenture Middle School against Lynden and the 8th grade team was at Sedro-Woolley High School against Coupeville.
The 7th grade team is made up of mostly 6th grade girls and one 5th grader, but since there are 2 7th grade girls on the team, they play the 7th grade schedule.
At the end of the 1st quarter, the OH girls scored only 2 points, but came back in the 2nd to score 6, then added 6 more in the 3rd. However, they just didn’t have enough to overcome Lynden as the Cats lost 17-42. Leading the team in scoring was Rosie, with 8 points, followed by Deja with 5. Sade and R.G. netted 2 points each. The 7th grade team finished the season 2-7 overall.
At Sedro later that afternoon, OH started out slow against their neighbors to the south with the 1st period ending in a 4-4 tie. In the 2nd period our girls took control of the game, outscoring Coupeville 10-2 to take a 14-6 lead at halftime. They increased their lead to 20-8 at the end of the third, but Coupeville wasn’t out, scoring 8 points in the final period and holding Oak Harbor to just 3. It wasn’t enough for Coupeville as OH won the game 23-16. “Speedy”, Monica and Brooke all scored 6 points each for the team, “Big Mac” and “Flash” added 2 each and Sierra hit a free throw to complete the scoring. The team ended the season with a 4-3 overall record.
While both teams ended the regular season, they still have the League Tournament to play. The 8th grade team plays at 2:35pm this coming Saturday, Dec 11th at LaConner High School. The 7th grade team plays at 9am at LaConner Middle School.
