ARLINGTON — The Arlington Lady Eagles lost to Edmonds-Woodway in overtime 81-79 in a non-league game Jan. 7.
“Woodway is a great team, and they hit shot after shot, but to our girls’ credit they never quit,” coach Joe Marsh said. “I’m really proud of the way the girls fought but we could have done better on defense.”
Arlington’s Sevi Bielser led in scoring with 18 points, hitting six 3-pointers. Teammate Jayla Russ scored 17 points.
The girls went into overtime 69-69 after regulation was timed. With 2.4 seconds left in the game and the score at 81-79, Russ was called to make a play to send the Eagles into double-overtime after their timeout.
“She got a great look and move but the ball just didn’t go in,” Marsh said. “She just needs to be super proud, I couldn’t ask for a better shot as a coach.”
The Eagles are 8-2.
Arlington hosts Oak Harbor, Wednesday, Jan. 14, and visits Everett Friday, Jan. 16.
LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood girls basketball fell to 3-8, losing to Mornington from Australia 44-40 Jan. 7.
Despite Lakewood’s Marissa Blair and Hayley Senyitko scoring 14 points apiece, missed free throws and a change of game plan from Mornington stopped the Cougars, Lakewood coach Chris Walster said.
“In the second half, the girls (Mornington) made some adjustments,” Walster said. “We were playing zone defense against them, and they used a baseline run to sneak up the middle for some easy buckets. They were very good passers.”
Lakewood hosts South Whidbey Tuesday, Jan. 13, and Granite Falls Friday, Jan. 16.
