The Whatcom men's basketball team braved a 41-28 hole in the first half and two overtimes to beat Highline Community College 85-84 Thursday, Dec. 1, at HCC.

In the dwindling moments of the second overtime, Whatcom Community College basketball coach Chris Scrimsher drew up a play for the Orcas, who found Pat Voeut streaking to the basket.

"We got off to a slow start but wanted to slowly chip away," Scrimsher said in a phone interview. "It was great. The kids played hard all the way through the second half."
