The Sehome girls basketball team rebounded from their first loss of the season with a 60-56 overtime win against Foss in the Carly Stowell Memorial tournament in Kentlake.

Sehome’s Lindsay Johnson hit a 3- pointer with 12 seconds remaining in regulation and the Mariners made a defensive stop to send the game into OT.

Sehome coach Ed Wissing said in a phone interview that the Mariners then limited Foss’ offensive rebounds, which Sehome had been giving up earlier in the game, to seal the victory.

“It was great,” Wissing said. “It would have been easy to fold up shop with the break coming up, but the girls worked hard for the win.”

Brittany Todhunter scored 15 points and pulled down nine rebounds for the Mariners (6-1) and Jackie Zender added 13 points.

GIRLS’ WRESTLING

MOUNTAINEERS DOMINATE

The Mount Baker girls’ wrestling team put on a show at the Lady Wolfpack Invitational at Jackson High School in Everett.

Kristen Fogg (125), Ashlee Phy (145) and Angel Ortiz (160) all took home titles in their classifications as the Mountaineers also won the team title with a score of 136. The next closest team was Emerald Ridge with a score of 83.

All three of the champions pinned their opponent within the first round of the championship, Fogg earned her first tournament title and Phy improved her season record to 13-0.

Rosie Rosas (103) and Alex Lepper (135) took third place and Karina Rosas (112), Sam Mount (119) and Chloe Grafwallner (285) took fourth place in their weight classes.

“I thought the girls overall wrestled pretty well,” Baker coach Ron Lepper said. “It’s nice to get three championships but all our girls contributed to the team score.”
