Wesco 3A/2A North
Marysville Getchell 63, Everett 40
MARYSVILLE — Needing two points to break Malakhi Knight’s Marysville Getchell all-time record of 1,783 points, Senior Bubba Palacol scored 19 in a comfortable Chargers win.
Palacol has had his eyes set on the mark for a while now.
“I finished junior year with 1,000-something and I knew getting the scoring record was in reach,” Palacol said, having averaged 24.2 points per game this season.
Palacol recalled the countless hours he has spent with his dad and brother Mariano, a fellow Charger, for his improvement since his freshman year. Head coach Corby Schuh’s confidence in his star senior is apparent as well, as the Chargers often rely on Palacol’s driving ability to start their offense.
Palacol credited that trust from the coaching staff for his three-level scoring ability and consistent output.
“(Schuh) has never told me not to shoot the ball,” Palacol said. “So that gives me confidence.”
The win moved Marysville Getchell to 12-5 overall and 6-1 in league play ahead of a Friday road matchup with league-leader Monroe.
Everett (7-10, 2-5) was led by senior Noah Parker’s 12 points.
Monroe 66, Snohomish 59
MONROE — The Bearcats (16-2, 8-0) held off a solid effort from the Panthers (6-12, 3-5) to stay perfect in league play.

Junior Chayce Waite-Kellar stood out for the Bearcats with 18 points while sophomore Deyton Wheat had a game-high 21 points for the Panthers.
Stanwood 69, Marysville Pilchuck 40
MARYSVILLE — A strong second half (43-24) propelled the Spartans to a comfortable league win against the Tomahawks. Senior Greyson Pierce led Stanwood (5-13, 3-5) with a game-high 24 points while junior Michael Taylor had 17 points for Marysville Pilchuck (1-17, 1-7).
