Girls basketball district update
February 25th, 2010 at Thu, 25th, 2010 at 3:13 pm by Megan ManaganThe Mercer Island girls basketball team – who earned a first round bye in the district tournament – will be playing Lakeside tomorrow night starting at 6:30 p.m. at Bellevue College.
The girls, who had to top seed going into the tournament, are searching for one of the four state berths given to the KingCo and Metro league teams.
If the girls win on Friday night they will move into the semi-finals on March 2. Here’s a breakdown on the possibilities:
With a win: girls advance to 8:15 p.m. March 2 semi-final at Bellevue College. They will play either Nathan Hale or Seattle Prep (whoever wins)
With a loss: girls move into consolation bracket and play the loser of the Nathan Hale/Seattle Prep game. If the girls lose at any point after this they will be done for the season.
Also still alive in the girls tournament is Juanita, who will play Holy Names and Bellevue who goes up against Cleveland.
The championship game will be held March 6 at Bellevue College. The top four teams from this tournament advance to the state tournament in Tacoma March 10-13.
