The Northwest 2B/1B League kept it going until the final day.
While the conference didn’t claim any state basketball titles this winter, it did send six teams to the big dance and earned a second place showing in the 1B girls’ classification.
That trophy went to Mount Vernon Christian, which won three of four at state, falling only to top seeded, and defending champ, Neah Bay in the final Saturday night.
The Red Devils made it back-to-back titles with a 39-28 win.
Before that, MVC beat Wilbur-Creston-Keller 55-43, Sunnyside Christian 41-26, and Waterville-Mansfield 43-28.
The other five NWL teams to advance to state – the Coupeville boys, the Friday Harbor girls, the MVC boys, and the La Conner girls and boys – all lost in the first round this season.
