NCAA cancels local college athletes’ championship run

Wednesday, May 6, 2020

When it comes to sports, timing is everything.

On March 12, the NCAA announced the cancellation of March Madness alongside all winter and spring sports seasons for college athletes. The decision was based on proactive safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which has surpassed one million cases and 67,000 deaths.

For Shoreline native Lily Gustafson and Edmonds native Mady Burdett the decision meant the duo had played the last game of their careers unknowingly.

Five days prior, trailing 61-62 with 16 seconds left, Burdett sank two free throws to give her No.10 ranked Whitman women’s basketball team a 63-62 lead against No. 5 ranked Wartburg College.

With eight seconds remaining, Gustafson blocked what should have been Wartburg’s game-winning layup.

With a 67-63 upset, Whitman advanced to the Sweet 16 and were scheduled to play for a spot in the Elite Eight on March 13.

On March 11, the NCAA announced teams would have to play without fans due to COVID-19.

On March 12, less than 24 hours before tipoff, Whitman learned the tournament was cancelled while at practice 3,000 miles away.

“There was a lot of frustration because we were like, ‘we can play, nothing bad is going to happen in our little isolated world in Maine and with crowd limitations,’” head coach Michelle Ferenz said. 
“But as we’ve seen in the last few weeks, you can’t really tell those things you don’t know.”

Over the five-day span between their last game and the announcement, the new cases of COVID-19 by day rose from 64 to 414. A month later, the number of new cases per day was 29,145.

For Gustafson and Burdett, the news meant accepting the bittersweet culmination of over a decade of years playing together.

Growing up less than 20 minutes away from each other, they became teammates in the third grade for club basketball.

During middle and high school Gustafson played for Einstein then Shorewood. Burdett played for Meadowdale then Edmonds-Woodway, making them opponents every winter season. Each year in the spring and summer they reunited on their Edmonds Sports Academy AAU team.

When the time for college decisions came, they decided to stay together.

“We gravitate towards each other and to have the experience to play together for 13 years is not something most best friends get,” Burdett said. “Knowing that someone is always going to be there and vice versa is special and goes beyond basketball.”

Burdett and Gustafson are distinctly different players who complement each other well.

Burdett is a 5-foot-7 point guard who is a goofball off the court and a sharpshooter on it.

“She’s the best shooter in the history of our program and one of the best shooters in the history of the conference,” Ferenz said. “She loves the moment, practices for it, and lives for the game.”

In contrast, 6-foot Gustafson is an observer and thinker.

“Lily doesn’t need glamor shots or headlines,” Ferenz said. “Against Wartburg she was guarding a first-team, all-conference player but wasn’t going to back down. When we needed a big play, she made it ... and that’s the epitome of who she is.”

In their four years, the team’s record was 94-20 but they always felt they had unfinished business.

Their freshman year they made it to the Elite Eight.

Their sophomore year they were eliminated in the first round of the tournament.

Their junior year they lost their conference championship and did not receive a bid.

Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, this year they won the regular season championship.

Then they won the first round of the NCAA DIII tournament 86-83 in overtime and second round in a 67-63 upset without senior Makana Stone who averaged 15 points per game before she suffered a concussion.

“Mentally, physically, emotionally our team was clicking on all cylinders before the decision,” Ferenz said. 
“As a coach you're not going to always have championship teams or win a title but these seniors were determined. Their only goal left unchecked was to get to the Final Four but I hope they understand they did everything they could.”

At the start of the season the team created a poster and wrote down one word that reminded them of why they play.

Gustafson chose the word “gratitude” and every day she walked in the locker room she was reminded to enjoy the process and make the most of the moment.

Despite COVID-19 leaving her and Burdett’s unfinished business just that, Gustafson hopes this experience will give younger players a new outlook on how nothing is guaranteed.

“You have four years playing basketball with each other and I hope this puts it into perspective,” Gustafson said. “Even through hard practice or conditioning, realize how special it is and how lucky you are to play together ... because you won’t get another chance.”

Shorecrest girls basketball team completes historic season

Friday, March 13, 2020

Shorecrest 2020 Basketball team


The Shorecrest girls varsity basketball team went all the way to the State Tournament this year, and while they didn't win the tournament, they completed one of the best seasons in Shorecrest girls basketball history.

Coached by Carlos Humphrey (along with Ian Powell, Sabrina Angle, and Jon Friesch), the Scots (22-5) were the only team in WESCO to beat the Arlington Eagles (24-3) in the regular season. 

That victory allowed them to win the league championship with a 13-1 conference record and end with a 19-1 regular season record. 

Their 19 wins also set a new Shorecrest girls basketball record for most wins in a regular season, eclipsing Bruce Langley's 1980-'81 18-2 record.

On their way to the State Tournament, the Scots went 3-4, losing 50-34 to Arlington in the WESCO Tournament Championship game. The Scots beat Capital High School 51-34 in their first State Tournament game before losing to Arlington again, 50-49, on an Arlington jump shot with 5 seconds left. In their final game, they held Bethel to a season low 40 points, but couldn't muster enough offense in a 40-30 loss - ending their tournament run.

By ending their season 22-5, the Scots tied Coach Dori Monson's 2011-'12 Shorecrest season record for the most wins in one season. Coach Monson's team also finished 22-5 that season.

This season featured many team and individual milestones and achievements:

  • On a memorable Saturday, February 1, Shorecrest won the program's 1000th game, beating Stanwood in a close 39-36 classic. Many of the program's past coaches and players were on hand to enjoy the event. The program's record now stands at 546-466.
  • The team finished the season as the 7th ranked team in the state.
  • In just his third year, Coach Carlos Humphrey won the WESCO 3A Coach of the Year award.

Coach Humphrey also passed Kelly Brewe and Jon Rasmussen on the all-time wins list with a 57-17 career record, giving him sole ownership of fourth place - 13 wins behind Bruce Langley's 70 wins. (Coach Monson leads with 106 career victories.)

With a career .770 winning percentage, Coach Humphrey is second only to Coach Dennis Broweleit's .778.

With her 13.5 points per game, senior guard and team captain, Amanda Lee, made the WESCO 3A First Team for her second year in a row. She also won the State Tournament Player of the Game for her 13 points and 4 rebounds against Capital. Amanda finished her career with 987 points, 13 shy of 1,000 - a significant achievement for any graduating player.

Senior guard/forward and team captain Sydney VanNess, who averaged 11.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, also made the WESCO 3A First Team. Last month, she was chosen as the Everett Herald Player of the Month for January.

Junior Kiana Lino, the team's third captain and powerful forward, made the WESCO 3A Second Team, finishing the season with 10.6 points per game and six double-double games (double figures in points and rebounds).

While the Scots graduate four starting seniors in Lee, VanNess, Maura Weaver, and Taylor Svendsen, they'll have 8 players returning next year: junior Kiana Lino; sophomores Alexa Svendsen, Anais Kagarabi, Jordan Tikalsky, Leila Hosn, Mila Friesch, Romy Nevens; and freshman Jocelyn Shea, along with Ella Sellentin, whose season ended early due to injury.

Unlike many WESCO high schools, who are having a difficult time fielding varsity, JV, and C teams, the Scots program is healthy, and they look to have players for all three teams again for the 2020-21 campaign.

King's High School boys basketball team has won the school's ninth state basketball title, beating Lynden Christian by three points in the final bracket of the state tournament in Yakima Saturday.

When King’s coach Rick Skeen asked him to deliver the Class 1A state boys basketball championship, the savvy sophomore agreed to get the job done. 
And he did, with a lot of help from his friends, of course. 
Linhardt put together 25 points and 16 rebounds to lead the 14th-seeded Knights to a 70-67 overtime victory against No. 6 Lynden-Christian Saturday at the Yakima Valley SunDome.

Scots girls and boys hoopsters advance to Regionals despite dropping District Championship games

Thursday, February 27, 2020

Some of the luster of the Shorecrest girls basketball season came off Saturday night as the Scots lost to Arlington 50-34 in the Northwest District One 3A Championship Game. Arlington’s stifling defense carried the day, forcing the Scots into 21 turnovers and a subpar (28%) shooting night.

Nevertheless, the team finds itself in the enviable position of being ensured a berth at the State Tournament in Tacoma next week by virtue of their school-record 21-2 mark for the season. Their dream of hanging a State Championship banner next to the one earned by the great 2015-16 team is still alive.

They travel to University High in Spokane Friday for a game at 8:00pm against Mt. Spokane HS, champions of the Greater Spokane League. The Wildcats have a mark of 18-3.

The winner will receive a first-round bye in Tacoma and open State play Thursday March 5, while the loser starts State on Wednesday March 4.

Brackets for the girls tournament are here.

The Shorecrest boys saw their ten-game winning streak grind to a halt Saturday night against Marysville-Pilchuck, 68-55, in the District Championship Game. The victorious Tommies, undefeated during league play, showed their mettle against the outmanned Scots.

The Scots’ boys face an elimination game Saturday at 4 against Central Kitsap. The game will be played at Issaquah HS, much closer to home than the girls’ game. The winner kicks off the State Tournament with the Egg McMuffin (9am) game on Wednesday March 4 in Tacoma.

The Cougars are 17-8 for the season, while the Scots are 18-5.

SC’s boys have three 2nd place banners on the wall (1982, 1992, and 2016)….always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Maybe this will be their year.

Boys brackets are here.

Last Tuesday, the Shorecrest girls basketball team (21-1) defeated Snohomish (11-11) 48-36 to advance to the WESCO Conference tournament championship game on Saturday, February 22. Shorecrest will tip off against Arlington (20-2) at 6pm at Everett Community College.

Shorecrest won the WESCO conference with a regular season conference record of 13-1, winning the head-to-head tiebreaker against Arlington (also 13-1) by defeating them 58-43 last December 20th.

Arlington defeated Ferndale last Tuesday 55-46 to earn their championship berth.

The Shorecrest boys (18-4) also made it to the WESCO Championship by defeating Stanwood (16-6) on Wednesday night. The boys will play at 8pm, after the girls game.

This is the first time in history the girls' and boys' programs both played in the conference championship game in the same season.

Wednesday, February 19, 2020

Shorecrest girls basketball won easily over 4th ranked Snohomish in the semi-final round on Tuesday evening at Mariner High School in Everett. They will play #2 ranked Arlington for the District 1 Championship on Saturday.

Shorecrest girls to play Snohomish in WESCO tournament semifinals Tuesday night

The #1 seeded Shorecrest High School girls' varsity basketball team (20-1) will play #4 seeded Snohomish (11-10) at 7:45pm at Mariner High School on Tuesday night, with the winner advancing to the championship game of the WESCO Conference Tournament.

The #1 seeded Shorecrest High School girls' varsity basketball team (20-1) defeated #8 seed Everett (12-10) 58-34 last Friday night to advance to the semifinals of this year's tournament.

The Scots jumped out to a 13-7 first quarter lead and built on it the rest of the night, outscoring the Seagulls in every quarter.

With that victory, Shorecrest advances to the semifinal round of the WESCO tournament to play Snohomish, who defeated Meadowdale 57-39. Snohomish was the only team to defeat Shorecrest during the regular season (54-37 on January 3rd in Snohomish) and also knocked Shorecrest out of the tournament last year.

The two teams have the number one and two defenses in the conference (Snohomish, 35.9 pts/game, and Shorecrest 36.4 pts/game), and that will likely determine the outcome of this one.

#2 Arlington (19-2) will take on #3 Ferndale (16-5) at 6pm at Mariner High School to determine the other team to advance to the championship game.

Shorecrest swim team wins 3A district title - HeraldNet article

Shorewood diver Isaac Poole shatters a 29 year meet record

"The meet’s biggest individual performance belonged to Shorewood senior Isaac Poole, who shattered a 29-year meet record to win the diving competition with 586.85 points.

"Poole, a back-to-back state runner-up diver, nearly broke the record last year, when he came within 0.9 points of the 499.25 points amassed by Marysville Pilchuck’s Travis Niemeyer in 1991. This time, Poole soared past the record en route to his third consecutive district title"

On February 10, Scots hang on for the win over Lynnwood 66-60 to become the 3A South Wesco champs in the regular season.

In post-season play on February 14, Shorecrest beat Everett 58-34 to advance to the next round. On Tuesday night, 7:45pm at Mariner High School, they play Snohomish.

In the entire season, Snohomish was their only loss - so they'll have something to prove.

History in the balance for Shorecrest girls basketball

Monday, February 10, 2020

History is in the balance with Shorecrest girls fielding perhaps the best team in their history.

The team is 18-1 with their last game, also Senior Night, Monday night at 7:15pm at Shorecrest. The public is welcome to attend games and this is bound to be an outstanding contest.

If we win that game, we win the Wesco conference, with a head-to-head tiebreaker over Arlington (whom they beat 58-43 on Dec 20).

This would be the team's first regular season conference championship in 40 years. 

They would also set a new school girls basketball team record with 19 wins. They've only won 18 games one other time, in 1980-81, coached by Bruce Langley.

Coach Carlos Humphrey would also move to fourth all-time in team wins with 54 (after only 3 seasons), passing former coach Jon Rasmussen (who now coaches Edmonds-Woodway).

The team is also currently ranked 4th in the state in the WIAA RPI ranking.

The team graduates four seniors after this year, all of whom have been essential to this team: Amanda Lee, Sydney VanNess, Maura Weaver, and Taylor Svendsen.

Lynnwood comes in 8-5, in 7th place in the conference. They're led by Nakia Boston, who leads the league with a 20.9 points/game scoring average.

The Wesco conference tournament begins on Friday, February 14, 2020. Shorecrest will host an undetermined team at 7pm.

Basketball: SC Girls honor their past, play 1,000th game Saturday; Former coaches to be celebrated

Saturday, February 1, 2020

The Shorecrest girls varsity basketball program (14-1, 8-1 in Wesco) will play its 1000th game in team history Saturday, February 2, 2020 at Shorecrest High School, 15343 25th Ave NE.

The game, against Stanwood (7-9, 5-5 in conference), begins at 7:15pm. 

Prior to the game, the team will celebrate all of the former program coaches, all of whom have been contacted and many will be in attendance. Pre-game introduction of coaches will commence around 7:00pm.

Many former SC players are planning on being there as well.

Started in 1971 as a club team, and becoming an official high school team in 1973, the varsity team is 538-461, and will be seeking its 539th program victory. They won the State Championship in 2016.

This year's Scots, coached by Carlos Humphrey, will also be seeking its 15th win of the season and 9th conference win, which would put them in a tie with Arlington for the conference lead.

The action starts with the C team game at 4pm and then the JV team at 5:40pm.

The Scots have high hopes of contending for another championship, and if Thursday’s 59-29 emotional route of Meadowdale (who knocked them out of the playoffs last year) is any indication, the team would appear to be peaking at the right time.

The Herald wrote an article about the Shorecrest - Meadowdale game. (Shorecrest girls get revenge and dismantle Meadowdale)

Basketball: Shorecrest Girls host Meadowdale tonight - seek revenge for playoff loss last year

Thursday, January 30, 2020

From the Sports Desk

Every team anticipates the release of the season’s schedule.

Players and coaches peruse it with great interest, paying particular attention to their opener, games against their traditional rival, and, most pointedly, to the game against the team that ended their season last year.

The biggest game gets circled on everyone’s schedule.

Last year the Shorecrest girls basketball team had their greatest regular season in school history, going 17-2. But then the snows came in early February, cancelling playoff games for over a week.

Inexplicably, the Scots dropped back-to-back games in Districts, the final game coming against Meadowdale, ending their season in humbling fashion and dashing their dreams of a return to the State Tournament in Tacoma.

Tears were shed, teeth gnashed, and promises made among the players to avenge that most bitter defeat at the next opportunity.

That opportunity comes tonight, Thursday, January 30, 2020 when the Scots host Meadowdale at 7:15pm in the Shorecrest gym.

The visiting Mavericks enter the game with an impressive 12-4 season record, 8-2 in Wesco play.

The Scots are 13-1 overall, 7-1 in league action.

Shorecrest is led by a pair of stalwart seniors, Amanda Lee and Sydney VanNess, both four year starters. Junior Kiana Lino anchors the post for the Scots.

This promises to be a hotly contested, highly skilled, and passionately played game.

Local youth teams and their parents would be wise to attend, so as to pick up a few pointers and lend their voices to what can be expected to be girls high school hoops at its finest.

It’s not too late for you —- to circle your calendar.
