LIVE ANOTHER DAY
We'd be remiss here at Sports and B's if we didn't mention the two big things that happened in B-town sports yesterday, both closely related.
1) North Carolina-bound 6'8" Marvin Williams was named to the McDonald's All-America Team. The guy's not even out of high school yet and he's the best athlete to ever come out of Bremerton. Granted, there isn't much competition, but still...
2) The Knights earned a berth in the West Central District Tournament with a 72-64 win over Olympia. The aforementioned Williams had 30 points, 15 of which were in the 4th quarter. Guard Phil Houston provided what the Knights have sorely lacked in their losses -- secondary scoring. Houston had 21 points. Both players were out at some point during the season due to illness. Williams was out with viral meningitis and Houston was out with pancreitis. Ouch. Makes my post-44oz Vanilla Coke stomachache from earlier today seem small.
The Knights are 11-10, one game over .500 on the year. The Sonics aren't over .500. Hell, I'd rather watch the UW men's roundball team right now than the Sonics. Hell, I'd rather watch the UW women's team play basketball than the Sonics or UW men's team. It helps that they're good.
