The Shorecrest Scots are ranked No. 6 in the WIAA 3A girls basketball state RPI rankings, and the Mountlake Terrace Hawks would have no argument with Shorecrest’s high ranking.

The Hawks could not keep up with the highly-regarded Scots on Tuesday, falling 72-38 in a Wesco League game played at Shorecrest High School.

While Mya Sheffield led Terrace with 10 points in the game, it would not be enough to match the scoring power of Shorecrest. Kiana Lino, Amanda Lee and Sydney VanNess tallied 19, 15 and 12 points respectively for the Scots in their victory.

The Terrace girls will next play the nightcap of a unique boys/girls basketball doubleheader on Friday, Jan. 24; the squad will face their counterparts from Lynnwood at 7:15 p.m. following a matchup of the Hawk’s and Royals’ boys teams. The games will take place at Lynnwood High School with the boys tipping off at 5:40 p.m.

In other Mountlake Terrace sports Tuesday, the Mariner Marauders slipped past the Hawks’ boys swim team 92-88 in a dual meet held at Kamiak High School.
