Two more playoff games tonight for local high-school basketball teams:

SEATTLE LUTHERAN GIRLS VS. TULALIP HERITAGE: This game ended with a loss for the Saints, 48-37, in Mount Vernon. The SLHS girls’ next game will be at 6 pm Thursday vs. Neah Bay, at Evergreen Lutheran in Tacoma.

WEST SEATTLE BOYS VS. BELLEVUE: This was a rollercoaster game for the Wildcats, eventually losing 64-57. They went into the locker room down 36-10 at the half but rallied to a one point lead early in the fourth quarter, leading to raucous cheers from the bench:

The defense toughened up in the second half, too, as head coach Keffrey Fazio‘s boys kept battling:

#22 Yusuf Mohamed was the scoring leader with 14, followed by #4 Chaaka Trahan with 11.

The next game is a must-win – 3 pm Friday vs. Rainier Beach, again at Bellevue College.
