PLAY IN GAMES
This district consists of 10 teams. The bottom 4 seeds, 7-10, will play each other in loser out games. The winners will advance to the first round of this double elimination tournament. Number 7 seed Squalicum played 10th seed Sedro-Woolley. Squalicum would go on to avenge a regular season loss and win by a score of 56-44. 8th seed Archbishop-Murphy played the 9th seed Bellingham. Archbishop-Murphy would win by a score of 56-41. Squalicum and Archbishop-Murphy would go to advance and Bellingham and Sedro-Woolley would have their seasons end.
ROUND 1
Now the tournament has 8 teams left and it will now be a double elimination tournament. Top seeded Anacortes faced 8th seed Archbishop-Murphy. Anacortes would cruise to a 79-48 victory. 2nd seed Lynden faced the 7th seed, Squalicum. Lynden would win 64-35. 3rd seed Sehome faced Burlington-Edison, Sehome would win 60-47. 4th seed Lakewood would play 5th seeded Cedarcrest. Lakewood would barely win, 68-64. Lakewood, Sehome, Lynden, and Anacortes would advance to the winners side of round 2, the “winners side”, (meaning they have yet to lose) and a losers side (meaning the have lost once and all games are win or go home), as I will be splitting it up to make things easier. Cedarcrest, Burlington-Edison, Squalicum, and Archbishop-Murphy would go to the losers side of round 2.

For the winners side of round 2 we will have the semi final games. Top seed Anacortes faced off against 4th seed Lakewood, Anacortes would sneak out a win 52-49. 2nd seed Lynden faced off against 3rd seed Sehome. Sehome would win a close one 46-44, beating Lynden for the 2nd time this season. Anacortes and Sehome would advance to the 2A district 1 championship game. Lynden and Lakewood would go to the losers side in round 3.
For the losers side of round 2, we had the 6th seed Burlington-Edison go up against the 7th seed, Squalicum. Squalicum would win by a score of 60-56. 5th seed Cedarcrest played 8th seed Archbishop-Murphy. Archbishop-Murphy would win the game 63-61. Cedarcrest and Burlington-Edison would have their seasons end. Squalicum and Archbishop-Muphy would advance to the losers side of round 3.
ROUND 3
The winners side of round 3 consisted of top seed Anacortes playing the 3rd seed Sehome. Both of these teams will advance to the 2A state tournament, win or lose. Anacortes would win 55-45, being crowned the 2A district 2 champions.
