The Orcas Saints men’s basketball season went 3-1 at the Auburn Adventist “Hardwood Classic Tournament” at the end of February.

The men’s team defeated Puget Sound Adventist 62-19, Skagit Adventist 48-38, and Auburn Adventist 47-37. In a hotly contested game, the Saints fell to top finisher Walla Walla Adventist, 61-55.

“Playing four games in one day is a marathon,” said Coach Tim Hance. “More than winning, what is most impressive about this fine group of men is that they epitomize the essence of ‘team,’ truly care about one another, and are willing to put in the very hard work necessary for success on and off the court. They’re a pleasure and inspiration to coach.”
