It's time for my first game of the New Year. Thanks to all the weather-related postponements last month, it's actually been quite a while since I've covered prep hoops.
Tonight's game here at Mariner High should be a good one. Mariner and Mountlake Terrace both are unbeaten in Wesco South action. This should be the biggest league test so far for Terrace, which has league victories against Lynnwood, Kamiak, Shorewood, Glacier Peak and Edmonds-Woodway.
Let's take a quick look at the team scoring averages: Terrace averages 60.6 points per game and allows 46.9. Mariner has averaged 54.8 ppg and has given up 49.2.
The top scorers for Terrace are Ryan Sells (13.9 ppg), Karsten Strieby 12.9 ppg and Paul Clingan 10.9 ppg.
Mariner's scoring leaders are Michael Minor 13.8 ppg, Tevin Dillon 11.8 ppg and Damascus Purnell 10.3 ppg.
