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.

TACOMA – The Sedro-Woolley Cubs exited the WIAA State 3A Fastpitch Tournament at the hands of Union High School of Camas, who overcame a 2-0 Sedro-Woolley lead in the bottom of the sixth, scoring four  runs on their only three hits of the game, to win 4-2.

Sedro-Woolley’s offense came from Wendy Ringhouse, who knocked in Anna Gallagher (running for Ashley Joneli) in the fifth, and Maddie Lynch-Crumrine, who tripled and was driven in by Holly Hawkins’ single in the sixth.

The Titans scored all of their runs in the sixth on a single by Alex Cline,  a double from Jamie Henderson, a double by Lindsay Sasse,  a two base error, and a sacrifice fly to center from Mariah Dawson.

Two critical errors played a major part in the big inning for the Titans – a pop fly between the pitchers circle and third base that dropped for a two base error and an ill conceived throw to third after a wild pitch that went into left field and allowed a run to score.

Bailey Brewer gave up three hits and struck out 11 in the losing effort and smacked a double to deep left field in the fourth but was stranded after Union’s Maria Dawson struck out the next three batters.

The Cubs are poised for a return trip to State next year as all of their starters except senior Wendy Ringhouse will be back to play for the blue and white.
