PLAYOFF KNIGHT
The Bremerton Knights boys basketball team has weathered a five-of-six losing skid, illness to Marvin Williams, and pancreitis to Phil Houston to return to the league playoffs for the first time in two years, beating Shelton 65-53 in overtime.
Last night's Shelton game was Phil Houston's first game back from the aforementioned illness (from which it was thought he would miss the rest of the season), and he gave the Knights some much-needed secondary scoring (16 points), which helped immensely because Marvin's three-point shooting was erratic, and he ended up with a mere 21 points. Williams did end up scoring eight of those points in overtime. Josh Johnson also chipped in a solid 13 points.
I'm glad to see these guys got to the playoffs, especially considering how they looked when I saw them in a game against Central Kitsap at home in mid-December (first post, second post).
But hey, the Knights are at .500 and the Sonics aren't. That's cause for me to go and get some breakfast and partially celebrate before I do my isotopes take-home midterm that's due Tuesday.
