The 2B Bi-District Playoffs were in full swing last week. There were several delays because of the snow, but the games resumed.

The Wolverines Boys defeated Seattle Lutheran to become Tri-district 2B Boys Basketball Champions for 2018-2019.

The game was very close in score and with a tie game went into overtime, however, the Wolverines held on and took the win 65-63 on Feb. 16. The Lady Wolverines also had a close game against the Orcas Island Lady Vikings, but also came away with a 44-40 win.

One more game was played against Auburn Adventist on Feb. 18 before the girls went on to state.
