JUNEAU — The Anacortes boys’ basketball team suffered its first loss of the season late Monday night, falling to Juneau-Douglas 67-54 in the second round of the Capital City Classic.

Mackenzie Larkin scored 23 points to lead the Seahawks.

The Seahawks opened the tournament Sunday with a 63-56 victory over the Lathrop Malamutes. Luke Averill led the way with 22 points, with Larkin adding 12 points and Ryan Hayes 11.

Anacortes was outscored 19-6 in the third quarter to fall behind 49-45, but turned the tables and outscored Lathrop 18-7 the rest of the way.

The Seahawks face New Westminster, Vancouver, at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday.

Luke Averill scored 11 against Juneau-Douglas, but was hampered with foul trouble much of the night. The Seahawks (3-1) shot just 17-of-32 from the free-throw line and struggled from the field as well, Seahawks coach Brett Senff said.

“On the defensive end, we didn’t look very strong,” Senff said. “I thought Mark Medalia and Jackson Kirkpatrick had a good game for us.”

South Bend Indians 68
Concrete Lions 61

MENLO — The Lions fell to 0-5 on the season with the non-league loss. No other details were reported.

Double Overtime

MENLO — Kelsey Barnett scored five of her team’s seven points in the second overtime as the Lions beat the Indians in the first round of the Willapa Valley Tournament.

Barnett, who missed two free throws that would have ended the game at the end of the first overtime, was 3-for-4 from the free-throw line in the second overtime.

Tasha Smith led the Lions (2-2) with 16 points, while Violet League had 15 points and 13 rebounds.

Smith made sure the game went to overtime.

She made four free throws in the final 40 seconds of regulation to tie the game.

The game didn’t start well for the Lions, who were down by 11 points as late as the third quarter.

The Lions play Willapa Valley at 6 p.m. today for the tournament title.

Juanita Rebels 50

KIRKLAND — Freshman Paisley Heckman scored 16 points to lead the Spartans to the non-league contest.

Heckman and Tessa Voelkers both played well in the post, Spartans coach Dennis Kloke said.
