SEDRO WOOLLEY - The Mount Vernon Bulldogs boys’ basketball team rode a roller coaster in the Sedro-Woolley gym Friday night in a Northwest Conference 3A matchup, eventually coming to rest with a 60-45 victory over the upstart Cubs.
Sedro-Woolley led 8-6 after one quarter, but the Bulldogs exploded for 22 points in the second period to take an 11-point lead into halftime. The Cubs battled back by holding Mount Vernon to just eight third quarter points, and the game was tied at 36 early in the fourth quarter.
Mount Vernon hit the gas pedal again to break the tie score and outscored Sedro Woolley by 15 points down the stretch to earn the victory. The Bulldogs had four players score in double figures, led by Jake Weber-Koetje’s 15 points. Kelsey Leek added 14 points, while Dan Barnet and Chris Chaplin each scored 10 points for Mount Vernon, as the Bulldogs improved to 4-1 with the victory.
Sophomore Isaac Bianchini had 17 points to lead Sedro Woolley, while fellow sophomore Andrew Minkel also had a strong performance and ended the night with 10 points before fouling out with 4:14 to go in the game. The Cubs fell to 0-6 with the loss, but will have one more shot at victory before Christmas when they host LaConner on Tuesday.
Mount Vernon won’t be back in action until December 30th when they will play at South Whidbey. Our next webcast of Bulldog basketball is scheduled for January 2nd, when Mount Vernon will host Marysville-Pilchuck.
