MUKILTEO — Saying it was a close game would be an understatement.
The Kamiak and Meadowdale boys basketball teams ended the first half at Kamiak High School in a 24-point tie and the score was still tied with one second remaining when Meadowdale sealed a 50-48 Wesco South win on a jump shot by senior Evan Matteson.
“It was a good basketball game,” said Kamiak head coach Greg Turcott. “Hard fought the whole way. Close game throughout.”
With two minutes left in the first half, Kamiak (3-4, 4-6) went on a 6-0 run to tie the Mavericks going into the third quarter. The game was also tied when sophomore EJ Brown hit an impressive full court shot at the end of the third to put the Knights ahead by three.
The teams stayed close throughout the fourth quarter and Kamiak’s Jerad Parcells found the basket to tie the score with 10 seconds to go. But Matteson, who scored 11 points and had six blocks, sealed the win for Meadowdale in the final second.
“The fourth quarter they outplayed us,” said Turcott. “They played solid down the stretch. They know how to win,”
Skylar Stormo led Kamiak with 10 points and 11 rebounds while Meadowdale’s Matt Gorman had 16 points and 10 rebounds.
