As founder of SkagitRadio.com, I never dreamed the direction we’re now taking. We’ve outgrown the borders of Skagit County and have included webcasting teams in both Whatcom County and Snohomish County to better serve the high school boys’ and girls’ sports fans from the Sno-King county line north to the border. Fans know this area better as the extremely talented District One, where championship teams come from. SkagitRadio.com has simply evolved into something bigger than I initially imagined.
Speaking of championship teams, I feel like we have one right here at SkagitRadio.com. We wouldn’t be at this point if it wasn’t for our capable Web Guru on the technical side of things, Wade Tonkin. Wade led us through our online birth and expansion, both our audio and our online visual presence. Wade clocked in many, many hours behind the scenes to help us do what we do, and for that I’ll be eternally grateful. Thank you Wade for your tireless services to our team.
John Fasso, our feature broadcaster, is the voice and talent fans want to hear. John was brought in on day one for his experience and professionalism, and he has delivered what he promised he could do for
us here at SkagitRadio.com. John’s experience in broadcasting and his approach to his craft has been nothing but beneficial to the rest of our team as we now cover more schools and more communities. I can’t thank John enough for his efforts and contributions to our growth.
John, Wade and I also wish to thank Jim and Nancy Drake, Scot Buchanan, Fred Lee, Matt Henggeler, Kaleb Hart, Bud Ashe, Jay Alexander, Dale Sharp, Dan Guiliani, Auggie Falzarano, Eric Francis, Pat Dougherty, Norm Nelson, all the student-athletes, athletic directors, school employees, coaches and their assistants whom we’ve worked with this past year, and you. Thank you!
I thank all of our local sponsors, who’ve stepped up to support local high school sports in these trying times. Without these incredible businesses in and around the Northwest, we simply couldn’t do this. We are so thankful to these sponsors. They help keep our services ‘free’ to the public and our listeners. Finally, I thank our fans and loyal listeners who visit our site for the best local high school sports coverage this area has ever heard. We’re honored you listen, we’re honored you support high school sports, we’re honored to webcast sports to multiple communities – and we’re having fun.
The fun will continue at our new domain, or URL – WinNW.com. Please take the time to save WinNW.com to your favorites list on your computers at home and at work as this is where you’ll find us in 2010. Expansion has caused us to rename ourselves to a moniker more fitting of our coverage area – the entire Northwest! SkagitRadio.com will remain online until February 1, 2010, as fans who log on there will be automatically redirected to our new home, WinNW.com.
We wrap up our first full calender year of webcasting and look forward to our high school sports coverage in 2010, with many more improvements to our website. Big things are ahead for WinNW.com in 2010. Thanks again to everyone who made this a success! Happy New Year from ALL of us at WinNW.com.

BURLINGTON – Trailing by two late in the second quarter, the Burlington-Edison Tigers scored the final nine points of the first half and never looked back en route to a 68-48 victory over Shorecrest Tuesday night in boys’ high school basketball.
In a game featuring two of the top teams in the state, it was the aggressive and relentless defense played by Tiger coach Rick Skeen’s team that turned a seesaw first half into another double-digit Burlington-Edison win, their fifth in six games this season.
After an exciting first half that featured 12 lead changes and five ties before Burlington-Edison’s late run, the Tigers limited the Scots to just nine third-quarter points and eight points in the final eight minutes. Evan Coulter’s 21 points led three Tigers in double figures scoring, with Colin Stewart adding 13 points and Craig Babington scoring 10.
Burlington-Edison’s Jacob Schifferl was chosen by announcers Fred Lee and John Fasso as the Mister T’s Awards and Embroidery player of the game after keying the Tigers’ run at the end of the second quarter when he scored seven of his nine points and grabbed numerous rebounds.
The Tigers will host Anacortes Tuesday, Jan 5 in a girls’ and boys’ basketball doubleheader, with the Seahawks and Burlington-Edison girls scheduled to tip off at 6 pm and the boys to follow at 8 pm. We’ll webcast both of those games live here on SkagitRadio.com.

Girls – The Mount Baker Mountaineers rode a 25-point night from Jovanna Baisden to a 61-35 win over the Blaine Borderites in Northwest Conference girls’ basketball action on Friday night in Blaine.
Baisden drained seven three-pointers and finished with a game-high 25 points to lead the Lady Mounties. Eight different Mountaineers got into the scoring act as Taylor Coston chipped in 11 points and yanked down nine rebounds. Overall, a great team effort was put forth by Head Coach Brenda Ellis’ Mount Baker team. Baisden earned the “Web Star of the Game” honors with her 25 points.
The Baker Girls improved their record to 3-2. Blaine dropped to 1-4.
Boys: The Mount Baker boys got balanced scoring with three players in double figures in their 61-54 win over Blaine in the second game of the double-header.
Spencer Backstrom and Anderson Bass log rolled the Borderites with both scoring 13 points each for Mount Baker. Nick Jacoby added 10 for the physical and unselfish Mountaineers and Jacob Kernells brought down nine rebounds as well for the Mounties.
Mount Baker withstood a scoring barrage by the Borderites’ Trey Bakageorge, who knocked down five three-pointers on his way to 25 points and taking game high honors. Ultimately it was Blaine’s inability to effectively manage the shot clock, settling for too many early looks as the Mounties used their size advantage to dominate the glass .
The Baker Boys moved to 4-0 – one of their better starts in recent memory. The Borderites dropped to 2-2 on the season.
