Sometimes it just comes down to the luck of the draw.

After 16 minutes of play, the score, 10-9 in favor of Northwest School, more closely resembled a baseball game than a hoops contest.
The city of Redmond is known as the “Bicycle capital of the Northwest.” But the local weather is not always conducive to outdoor pedal power.
That’s where the new Vo2 Performance Center comes in.
The Bear Creek School boys’ basketball team made a big statement toward being one of the top 2B teams in the state after coming from behind to beat 3A Eastside Catholic, 57-53, in front of a packed house at The Bear Creek School on Saturday night.

The Overlake School’s Athletic Director and boys’ basketball coach, John Wiley, will be the first to admit that he doesn’t have the most intimidating roster in the league.
