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.

STANWOOD – In spite of graduating eight seniors from last year’s team that went 22-7 and placed 6th in the 3A state basketball tournament, the Meadowdale Mavericks picked-up where they left off last season with a 55-54 season-opening win over the Stanwood Spartans in boys’ high school basketball.

The Mavericks held an early 11 point lead and led for most of the game, but needed two clutch free throws from senior Matt Beucherie to hand the Spartans their second defeat in two games.  Stanwood should be credited with an excellent comeback that put them in a position to win the game in the final seconds.

Meadowdale was led by Sam Werner’s 16 points and Riley Neff-Warner’s 14 points, while the Spartans were paced by 19 points from senior Kale Schmidt, who buried five three-point bombs. Senior Zach Johnson also chipped in with 18 points, including a perfect 6-6 from the free-throw line.

Individual Scoring:

Meadowdale: Werner 16, Neff-Warner 14, Dooley 8, Beucherie 6, Tallman 6, Buck 5

Stanwood: Schmidt 19, Johnson 18, Haugstad 7, Schroyer 6, Cook 4
