Kamiak loses coin toss tiebreaker

Herald staff

Either Shorewood got it right or Kamiak made the wrong call.

However Thursday’s coin toss went, Shorewood emerged the winner and will be Western Conference South Division’s No. 3 team going into next week’s Class 4A Northwest District playoffs. That means Kamiak, as South No. 4, must face undefeated Mount Vernon, the No. 1-ranked team in the state coaches’ poll, in the first round Tuesday.

Meanwhile in the North Division, Marysville-Pilchuck and Cascade emerged from a three-way tie for third place as the Nos. 3 and 4 teams, respectively. Their tie with Stanwood was broken by head-to-head results. M-P was 3-1 against the other two with Cascade 2-2 and Stanwood 1-3.

So Tuesday’s first-round games will see Kamiak at Mount Vernon, Shorewood at Snohomish, Marysville-Pilchuck at Mountlake Terrace and Cascade at Jackson.
