MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell girls basketball team lost to Arlington 62-40 Feb. 9, won a 3A North tiebreaker against Oak Harbor 36-22 Feb. 10 but fell short of entering districts losing to Shorewood 54-42 Feb. 11.

“We played over twenty games. That’s huge,” coach Shannon Grandbois said. “To make it to a play-in game is huge for this program. It says a lot about what these girls went through.”

In the Chargers final game, Carley Wika led with 10 points but Gabby Grandbois combined for 35 points and 10 3-pointers in the previous three games.

“They’re fighters,” Grandbois said. “We battled the entire time I coached in this program. The Lady Chargers never gave up and they showed that.”

MG finished with a 10-12 record.
