Knowing that his Cougars were shorthanded, coach Matt Hart decided to create disarray on the defense end.
“Our game plan going in was to press and create havoc,” Hart said.
True to their coach’s strategy, the Cougars’ manic pace threw off the rhythm of Coupeville, unfortunately it threw off their own as well in a 54-35 Cascade Conference loss Jan. 14.

With more than 20 combined turnovers between Highland Christian and Grace in the final frame, the Knights came away victorious, 27-21, in Northwest 1B girls hoops action at the Marysville Boys & Girls Club.
The Washington Stealth could have checked off just about every goal they set for the 2010 season in winning the National Lacrosse League title.

Every once in a while, I have to be told — either by family or friends — that I get to watch sports for a living.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a sports fan. In fact, most of my time away from this job involves reading about sports, writing about sports or just watching it on television. But, with each passing year, I become more convinced that whatever your job is, it always ends up feeling like work.
MARYSVILLE — In 2010, success was a theme for Marysville athletics.
But while winning can help the significance of a season, it certainly isn’t a prerequisite for making it compelling.
The Tommies continue their strong start by taking top honors at the Paul Reiman Invitational.
“It’s really nice to perform like this at a local tournament just before the holidays,” said M-P coach Craig Iversen.
While most will remember who made the game-winning shot, it was Dacia Heckendorf who kept the Tommies in the game when they needed it most.
The Marysville-Pilchuck girls hoops team overcame some early jitters to knock off previously undefeated Lake Stevens, 54-47, in Wesco North action Dec. 22.
“We really needed this one,” said Heckendorf. “And everybody just sort of came together in the end to support each other.”
That may have been the case, but M-P would have had a difficult time coming back against the Vikings (4-1 Wesco North), who are sitting atop the conference standings, without Heckendorf.
Pins must be contagious.
That seems to be the case with Marysville-Pilchuck’s wrestling team, which stayed undefeated by demolishing Cascade 70-9, Dec. 16, in a Wesco North match.
Entering their first Northwest Conference 1B game of the season, both Tulalip Heritage and Highland Christian were looking for consistency.
