ARLINGTON — Arlington hosted its fifth annual Coaches vs. Cancer game against Oak Harbor Jan. 30.

“Coaches versus cancer is a nation wide collaboration between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches to increase awareness of breast cancer, promote healthy living among students, faculty and the community at large,” said Heather Logan of Cascade Valley Hospitals and Clinics.

The event had the naming of local honorary coaches who are currently fighting cancer and to those who have passed before the start of the game.

The crowd was “pinked out” to show their support.

Arlington defeated Oak Harbor later that night 66-40. Donovan Sellgren scored 26 points with six 3-pointers.

“It’s a big game for our community and a big game for our kids, and we want to do well,” Arlington coach Nick Brown said. “We want to respect the survivors and victims of cancer, and we went out and played hard.”
