PORT 9:. THE MARYSVILLE4PILCHUCKl TOMAHAWKS oz. THE LAKEWOOD COUGARs-ozo A8 b Danielle Szulczewski The Arlington Times ‘ Like the classic story of David and Goliath, sometimes talented teams overlook smaller oppo- nents. ‘_ ' With a Jan. 12 rematch against an undefeated Snohomish team looming, M-P might be forgiven for overlooking a 1-5 Cascade team. That is, unless Cascade improved to 2—5 against them, defeating the Tomahawks 75-64. While the Jan. 4 game remained close for three quarters, Cascade opened the final period with a pair of three pointers that pro— vided a lead Marysville couldn’t overcome. ' M-P coach Bary Gould called the game a winnable one the team seemed to overlook. “I think we have a tendency to look at teams’ past records and look past some teams," Gould said. “There are so many good teams, and a lot of them are good even though their records aren’t that great. They want to make the an on To m‘mies‘i‘ls—f? playoffs as badly as we do." Cascade took advantage of fast—break opportunities. pitch- ing the ball down court to Chris McGrath who stung the Toma— hawks for 31 points. Senior Taylor Stevens was the only Tomahawk to score in dou- ble figures, coming up with 28 points. Colin Thomason and Blake Lovell each chipped in another 9, ' but Cascade entered each quar- ter leading MP and pulled away late outscoring MP in the fourth quarter. Gould said he thought; his team had learned to play aggame at a time after a close loss td'iiver— ett. Hopefully for the Tomahawks, the lesson will sink in as they face Arlington and Oak Harbor before facing the Panthers again in Sno- hornish. . Though M-P fell to 3-3 in con- ference. the record puts them squarely in the middle of the pack, tied with Monroe for fourth among 4A teams in the league. Gould hopes to change his team’s mentality as they enter the second half of their Schedule. THE MARYSVILLE GLOBE. [0va Cascade sneaks w, ‘ “I think the key word is doing different.

The Arlington Times “We had not beaten King's for some time, and in my 13 years of coaching girls basketball, I had never beaten them as a varsity girls coach," said Lakewood girls coach Chris Walster. “Any time you can beat them, down there, is special." By that measure, Jan. 4 was a special night for the Lady Cougars, toppling the defending conference champs on their own turf 45-41. Lakewood had to like their odds coming into the game. The Cougars return much of their varsity lineup from 2006-07 while King’s lost three college-caliber players to gradua~ tion. “That was a big win, even though they are a little down," Walster added. “They‘ve still got a good sys- tem and good coaches." And, as evinced by the score, it was still a very close match. Lakewood trailed at halftime, but rallied by outscoring the conference rivals 25-16. Six players scored, led by post Jennifer Lind’s 16 points. Lind had a double-double with 10 rebounds. Lakewood guard Jocelyn" Shafer's . nine points were critical. as well, Walster said. .

Stewart added five assists and six points. The Aussies had the advantage of height coming in with multiple players over 5—10 and Cougarshad a couple of key losses to injury and illness. Despite those factors, Lakewood kept the game close, trailing by just one at the half and again going into the fourth quarter. “We called a couple of timeouts to try and get our breath back, but we just couldn’t find the energy and couldn't find the basket at the end of the game," said Lakewood coach Chris It was near the end of the game junior guard Anna Work suffered an injury that put .her on the bench for the rest of the night. Additionally, Lakewood was without Jocelyn Shat‘er, who has been an impact player start- ing for the Cougars in her junior season after "She has really stepped up in terms of her calmness on the floor," Walster said. "I think she felt a little like the low man on the totem pole (last year), but this year she stepped up and she’s not afraid to take shots." The loss to Hawthorn was Lakewood‘s third of the season and the Cougar coach said he's pleased with his team's progress so far this season. The team’s other two losses have been to a tough Foster High School team and the state’s top-ranked 2A squad at Anacortes. "We've still definitely got room for improve- ment like anyone‘ else," Walster said. “ (But) you know, we feel really good about where we're at." At Lakewood H.S.
