Like the girls’ basketball team, the boys played three games last week.
They didn’t win any, but the guys are giving it their all.
During the game against the Concrete Lions on Jan. 25, the team really got the crowd pumped.
“Concrete beat us, but what was cool about the game is that the kids learned how to play fast break,” said coach Dan Drake. “The game was lit. We had a great time. Mikail dunked a ball and that got the crowd going.”
The final score was 81-39. The top scorers were Mikail Van Maren with 12 and Devon Stanzione with 11.
The boys lost to LaConner, 60-27. Due to a lack of numbers, Drake added a few JV players to the mix.
“LaConner is phenomenal,” Drake said. “They are a great team. Their sportsmanship is amazing.”
The team played Shoreline on Saturday, losing 55-27.
“That was another class act team,” Drake said. “We only had five varsity players and brought three JV boys with us. We adjusted to their man-to-man defense and had a better half. We doubled our score the second half.”
Orcas is curently tied with Mount Vernon for last place in the league. The Vikings play Cedar Park on Feb. 3 at home, 3 p.m.
