One step at a time

Austin McDermott — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:55:07 +0000

The Road to the Dome is nearly complete. With a 72-33 win over the Everett Seagulls Tuesday
night, the Hawks have a 3.5 game lead in the WesCo 3A conference. There are seven games left in the
season, including three against teams with a winning record (Shorecrest, Shorewood, Glacier Peak, all of
which are conference games).

Though a 39 point win, the Hawks 10th by at least 20 points, it didn’t come easy. Reece Hoiby
and Cal Knapp, two Everett players, had a hard fouls on Ryan Shannon, Blake Fernandez, and Greg
Bowman . Shannon was horse collared when going for an easy layup, and Bowman was shoved from
behind on his own uncontested drive. Fernandez was tossed around a lot, once dealing with elbows
thrown in the direction of his head (not called a foul by officials) and getting tripped up or shoved
around on shots numerous times. Everett tried to send a message with strong defense but Terrace didnt falter. Hoiby finished with 6 points, and Knapp didn’t even score.

One thing worth noting however, was that Everett opened the game in a very effective 1-2-2
zone. Essentially, the Gulls always had a minimum of three, if not four defenders to defend any Hawk
that came into the paint. For about half of the quarter, the Hawks’ big men had to find a way to break
the zone, but eventually found the biggest hole in Everett’s strategy-there was no one left to guard the
three-point shot. Eric Moisant nailed two threes, and Fernandez added 15 points. Jesse Zerom put up 8
of his own, and Marquis Armstead tacked on 9. By playing the 1-2-2 zone Everett had allowed Terrace to go inside-out with strong guard play.

Once again, the Hawk’s defense shown through, with several blocked shots by Coby Russell,
Ryan Shannon, and Greg Bowman manhandling Everett down low, and on the boards. The Hawks have
beaten all of their last opponents already this year, so expect smooth sailing all the way to Tacoma.

Terrace totals: Armstad 9, Zerom 8, Moisant 6, Russell 6, Moisant 2, Ferandez 15, Bowman 13, Shannon
13, Lacase 0.

Everett totals: Richardson 7, Woods 7, Chacon 6, Hoiby 6, Thibou 5, Carr 2, Arends 0, Franklin 0, Knapp
0, Tran 0.

Women’s Basketball: No. 10 Shorecrest outlasts Terrace in overtime, 83-74

AnhViet Nguyen — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 06:52:17 +0000

Despite trailing for most of the game, Shorecrest pulled out an 83-74 overtime victory over Mountlake Terrace on Friday night at the Terraceum.

Shorecrest (11-2, 8-1 WesCo 3A) entered the game as the No. 10 3A team in the state and was led by senior guard Brianne Lasconia’s game high 45 points. She scored 16 points during the fourth quarter comeback.

Lasconia had a chance to finish the game off in regulation when she was fouled after a quick steal with less than 10 seconds on the clock. She made the first of two free throws attempts which tied the game at 70 heading into overtime. Then, a final heave at the buzzer by freshman Shaian Pagaling nearly dropped in. In overtime, the Scots pulled away with a 13-4 run to end the game.

The Hawks (4-10, 2-8 WesCo 3A) led by as many as 15 points in the third quarter. Then, with the Hawks leading 55-43 entering the fourth quarter, the Scots began to turn up the pressure defensively, causing problems for the inexperienced Hawks. The Scots outscored Terrace 27-15 in the fourth quarter and never looked back.

“We’re inexperienced as a group in those situations and that’s what happens,” Mountlake Terrace head coach David Brophy said.

Terrace junior Taylor Smith finished the game with a season high 32 points including six 3-pointers. Pagaling added 14 points and sophomore Maddy Kristjanson had 12 points.

Mountlake Terrace’s offense was efficient, even dominant, throughout the entire game but it struggled late in regulation. Brophy also cited “defense, boxing out and rebounding” as things that the team must improve in order to stay competitive in a tough WesCo 3A league.

Fouls and free throws were also a key factor in the game. Shorecrest shot 23 of 35 from the free throw line while Terrace shot 19 of 25. The Hawks were whistled for 20 fouls in the second half, to the ire of the MTHS fans and pep band- two people were dismissed from the game after voicing their disapproval of the foul calls. By the end of the game, the Hawks were only had four players on the court since three players had already fouled out.

Shorecrest is one of the top teams in the local area and will look to make some noise when the postseason arrives. The Scots are well-positioned for a high seeding at districts, even though it is still a month away.

However, Brophy is pleased with his team’s overall performance after nearly taking out a top contender in WesCo 3A. The Hawks lost to Shorecrest 69-31 back on Dec. 9 and it was clear that Terrace had improved since then.

“We made strides tonight in terms of how we’re going to play basketball here at Terrace,” he said.

If the growth continues, this team might just find itself a district berth in February.

Next up: Jan. 17- Mountlake Terrace vs. Shorewood at the Terraceum, 7:15 p.m.

Shorecrest – 14 17 12 27 | 13 – 83

Hawks defense tightens up in win at Shorecrest

admin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 06:39:59 +0000

Despite trailing for the entire first quarter of tonight’s game, the Hawks never looked like they weren’t in control at a packed Shorecrest gym and in front of a Comcast television audience. The Hawks remained undefeated with a gutty 47-31 victory that was once again won on the defensive end of the floor.

Junior guard Marquis Armstead usually draws the toughest defensive assignments for the Hawks. And sometimes – like in the first half tonight – that impacts his offensive game. Armstead drew the Scot’s top scorer, 6 foot 6 inch senior Emmanuel Chibuogwu Jr. and held him in check.

But, the Hawks play team defense and have a roster full of guys who know how to play tough, hard-nosed “D.” So, when Armstead and the Hawks came out of the locker room at halftime with just a two-point lead, it was senior post Ryan Shannon who was guarding Chibuogwu. Armstead promptly lit up the Scots with two devastating treys. By the time Shorecrest coach Brian Fischer could call a timeout, his club was down by eight and would never recover.

Yes, Terrace trailed 13-11 after the first quarter, but the Hawks had the momentum and had solved Shorecrest’s offensive game plan. Terrace would not allow the Scots to score in double figures in any other quarter.

In fact, the Hawks have kept that amazing streak alive throughout this entire season: No opponent has made it through a game without being held to single digits in at least one quarter of the game. Defense like that usually wins games and the Hawks are now 14-0 overall and 10-0 in WesCo 3A.

Guard Blake Fernandez led the Hawks and all scorers with 17. Armstead finished with 16. Posts Greg Bowman and Coby Russell along with guard Jesse Zerom each added four points apiece and Shannon had two.

The Hawks travel to Shorewood on Tuesday to face the T-Birds before returning to the Terraceum for an unusual Thursday night game against Marysville-Getchell.

At Shorecrest:

Mountlake Terrace – 11 09 10 17 – 47
Shorecrest – 13 05 09 04 – 31

Hawks: Jesse Zerom 4, Andrew Moisant 0, Blake Fernandez 17, Ryan Shannon 2, Marquis Armstead 16, Greg Bowman 4, Eric Moisant 0, Lauren LaCasse 0, Coby Russell 4.

Scots: Conin Oishi 3, Ryan Canfield 2, Trevor McCoy 2, Liam O’Neill 2, Emmanuel Chibuogwu Jr. 11, Keith Shattuck 11, Alex Horning 0, Zach Lawson 0, Max Nelson 0, Masamba Njadoe 0, Dylan Pontrello 0.

Hawks win the battle of the unbeatens

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:30:56 +0000

Erase any doubt you may have had: These Hawks are for real.
And they have the Mountlake Terrace High School Holiday Tournament Trophy to prove it.
Not convinced yet? Just ask previously unbeaten Snohomish, who came into tonight’s game ranked No. 5 in the Seattle Times 4A poll.
Final score: Hawks 63, Panthers 41.
Snohomish senior guard Luke Hamlin, who came into tonight’s game averaging more than 24 points per game, was throttled by the Hawks’ stifling defense and held to a season-low 10 points. Fellow guard Kevin Yates led the Panthers with 13.
That was indicative of the tough man-to-man defense that the Hawks smothered the Panthers with tonight. No matter how hard Snohomish tried, they couldn’t get anything consistent going. In fact, the longest scoring streak for Snohomish during the entire game was just six points on back-to-back treys midway through the 2nd quarter.
On the other hand, the Hawks were typically balanced on offense with senior post Coby Russell leading the way with 19 points and 13 boards. Junior guard Blake Fernandez contributed 12, junior guard Marquis Armstead had 13 and senior post Ryan Shannon had 9. Russell was a man on a mission with several steals, blocks and two emphatic dunks – the most spectacular one coming on a two-thirds court pass from junior guard Jesse Zerom.
The Hawks went on a back-breaking nine-point run early in the 3rd quarter and never looked back. Terrace also had four runs of six points.
Besides being unbeaten, the Hawks kept another impressive streak alive – in each of their 10 games, the Hawks have held their opponents to fewer than 10 points in at least one quarter.

At the Terraceum:

Snohomish – 07 13 11 10 = 41
Mountlake Terrace – 16 16 20 11 = 63

Hawks: Jesse Zerom 3, Andrew Moisant 0, Blake Fernandez 12, Ryan Shannon 9, Michael Lotz 0, Marquis Armstead 13, Greg Bowman 0, Eric Moisant 7, Lauren LaCasse 0, Coby Russell 19.

Panthers: Kevin Yates 13, Luke Hamlin 10, Mitchell Stewart 0, Russell Crippen 5, Gabe Reichenberger 2, Josh Bauska 4, Josh Baird 5, Ty Carlson 2, Wyatt Harrison 0, Darian Caldwell 0.

Men’s Basketball: Terrace defeats Glacier Peak, 54-46

AnhViet Nguyen — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:57:08 +0000

The Mountlake Terrace men’s basketball team (7-0, 6-0 WesCo 3A) ousted the Glacier Peak Grizzlies (4-3, 3-2 WesCo 3A) 54-46 in a highly anticipated WesCo 3A showdown on Friday night.

Coming off of a 77-17 blowout over Marysville-Getchell on Thursday night, the Hawks controlled the entire game against the Grizzlies and never surrendered the lead after opening the game with an 11-5 lead.

Senior post Ryan Shannon led the Hawks with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 6 blocks. Junior guard Blake Fernandez chipped in 13 points and 4 assists.

Terrace led by as many as 14 points late in the fourth quarter. Glacier Peak attempted a late comeback but fell short.

Glacier Peak’s junior post Zach Pederson finished with seven points. Pederson entered the game as the leading scorer in WesCo 3A with 23.0 points per game but was stymied by the Hawks’ defense all night.

Glacier Peak, a team that finished fifth place in the WIAA 3A state tournament last season, has struggled as of late. The Grizzlies stumbled earlier this week on the road against Shorecrest and narrowly defeated Everett.

The game was played at a high intensity level and fans on both sides contributed to the game’s intensity by packing the gymnasium. Mountlake Terrace’s Humane Hawks Society, formerly known as the Rowdy Rooters, traveled to the away game and they continue to disrupt opposing teams on their own court, while Glacier Peak’s student section celebrated the holiday season with Santa hats and ugly sweaters. Prior to the game, fans on both sides sang the National Anthem together due to technical difficulties.

Next up:

12/22: Oak Harbor at Mountlake Terrace, 7:15 p.m.

Holiday Tournament:

12/29: Marysville-Pilchuck at Mountlake Terrace, 7:00 p.m.

12/30: Mark Morris/Snohomish at Mountlake Terrace, time TBA

Key stats:

Ryan Shannon: 14 points, 12 rebounds, 6 blocks, 2 steals

Blake Fernandez: 13 points, 4 assists, 2 steals

Marquis Armstead: 7 points, 3 assists

Eric Moisant: 7 points

Greg Bowman: 7 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks

Coby Russell: 3 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals

Hawks welcome Chargers to WesCo

admin — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 08:15:29 +0000

Welcome to the league, Marysville Getchell Chargers.

Hawks 77 at Chargers 17.

You read it correctly, 77-17.

It wasn’t that close.

Welcome to the Hawks defense, too – 0 points allowed in the first quarter, 7 in the 2nd, 4 in the 3rd and 6 in the 4th. The Chargers’ first points came with 6:36 to go in the first half.

Oh, and the 40-point mercy rule should have kicked in with just under two minutes to go in the 2nd quarter. Mysteriously, even though the Hawks went ahead 44-4 at that point, the refs waited until the second half to enforce the rule.

That’s right. The entire second half was played with a running clock.

From the opening tip, the Hawks dominated with excellent balance offensively and defensively. Junior guard Blake Fernandez led the Hawks with 18, but senior post Ryan Shannon (13), sophomore post Lauren LaCasse (10) and senior post Coby Russell (10) also had double-figure nights. Shannon had another double-double as the Hawks improved to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in WesCo 3A.

A bigger test comes Friday night when the Hawks travel to Glacier Peak to take on the Grizzlies.

At Marysville Getchell:

Mountlake Terrace – 28 20 10 19 – 77
Marysville Getchell – 00 07 04 06 – 17

Hawks: Jesse Zerom 4, Andrew Moisant 0, Blake Fernandez 18, Ryan Shannon 13, Marquis Armstead 7, Greg Bowman 6, Eric Moisant 9, Lauren LaCasse 10, Coby Russell 10.

Chargers: Zander Seymer 0, Kaleb Seymer 0, Nathan Grimm 7, Josh Thompson 0, Omar Sakin-Romulus 4, Jordan Russell-Robinson 0, Cullen Zackuse 0, Ali Al-Azadi 4, Marcus Humphrey 2.

The Dunk

admin — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:41:05 +0000

It’ll be one of those plays talked about for some time…

We’re referring to “The Dunk.”

Several men’s basketball fans have asked if there’s video of Ryan Shannon’s incredible dunk that took place Dec. 6 at Everett when the Hawks thumped the Seagulls 76-32.

Yes. And, thanks to the men’s basketball program, we have it for you.

Here’s the play-by-play of how The Dunk came to be:

• With a few minutes to go in the 1st quarter and the Hawks holding the Gulls to just one point, the Everett point guard brings the ball up the right side of the court guarded by Marquis Armstead.

• Seeing that Armstead has forced the Everett guard to switch to his weak hand on the dribble, Hawks guard Blake Fernandez swoops in and steals the ball.

• Armstead breaks to the middle of the floor setting himself up for a pass from Fernandez. Two Seagull defenders trail Fernandez and try to get to Armstead following Fernandez’s pass.

• Shannon has been trailing the play when Armstead receives the pass in the key drawing defensive attention from the Seagulls.

• Armstead takes a quick peek behind himself as he receives the ball and sees that Shannon is trailing. Instead of going up for the lay-in himself, Armstead unselfishly bounces the ball off the backboard.

• Shannon elevates and with both hands emphatically slams the ball home.

• The Terrace fans (in the foreground of the video) erupt. Several Everett fans can be seen applauding, too.

• Stick with the video, however! On the ensuing possession, Hawks guard Jesse Zerom takes a charge, thus completing an incredible sequence of events.

Swimmers send two to state

Abby McDermott — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:04:01 +0000

On Nov. 12, Mountlake Terrace sent two swimmers to the women’s state swimming meet.

Riley Morgan swam the 50-meters freestyle and Megan Bruce swan the 100-meter breaststroke. Riley finished in seventh place with a time of 25.78 seconds.

Both Morgan and Bruce were voted captains for next swim season along with McKenzie LeSueur. Morgan has been swimming for seven years now and this is her fourth year on a year-round swim team called Stingray Swim Club.

This is her second year going to state and her first year placing. “I had no idea that I would finish in the top eight and I was very surprised,” Morgan said. She is already looking forward to her senior year and improving, “Next year I want to beat my own time and go to state.”

Morgan is admired by her teammates and her efforts are appreciated, “Riley always worked really hard in practice and at meets. She was really inspiring for our team and she always is encouraging,” teammate Sonja Head said. “It was really awesome to watch her go to state and see that she accomplished everything she had aimed at the whole season.”

Morgan said she loves swim because there is a sense of family on the team. “At practice we all joke around, but we’re a family,” she said. “There was a coach I had before he retired two years ago and the first rule was that we’re a family.”

That support and commitment has been what keeps Morgan swimming year after year.

Teammates congratulated Morgan and her accomplishments this season. The team hopes to see new girls come out next year to join swim as “swim is the best sport you could possibly play because it works different muscles than other sports,” Morgan said.

New season starts rough, but successful

Austin McDermott — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:02:33 +0000

It’s a good year to be a Hawk.

Senior starter Ryan Shannon, who transferred from Marysville-Pillchuck this year, may be the one piece needed to bring a run to the state championship. The Hawks have gone to the playoffs many times since winning it all in 1977, despite a solid history as a strong team and finishing as high as 3rd place, it seems they are never able to win that elusive title.

Tuesday night was the first step in the quest for the title, as the Hawks beat the Inglemoor Vikings 57-41.

Returning junior guard Marquis Armstead led the team with 19 points. Shannon, in his first game as a Hawk, got a double-double, with 11 points, despite having a slight injury scare just 3 minutes into the game. After Shannon went up for a rebound, he fell face first onto the floor where he appeared to be inadvertently kicked. Shannon was able to get up and walk on his own, but he was clutching his face and looked like he was in some serious pain. He returned to the game a few minutes later. Another possible injury occurred with just 2.5 seconds left in the 3rd quarter, when he nearly got body slammed by an Inglemoor player after going up for a block.

After the game, coach Nalin Sood said, “As a coach you’re always concerned, and you’re just hoping ‘get up, get up, and get up’. We have guys that are aggressive to the basket, and to do that, sometimes (injuries) are going to happen… some of our guys have a fearless attitude, and that’s the risk you take, and I’m glad we have guys like that, that are on our side, and I know (junior guard) Jesse (Zerom) and Ryan wouldn’t shy away from doing that same play five minutes later.”

The whole team did a good job on communication for the first game of the year. Big men Loren LaCasse, and Greg Bowman (both sophomores) dominated the glass and controlled the paint. The Hawks held the Vikings to just two points in the second quarter, and were leading 47-22 at the end of the 3rd. Apart from a few mishaps, the Hawks made many solid, smart, and sometimes amazing passes to find the open man for the easy shot. They even out-scored Inglemoor 30-6 from the beginning of the 2nd quarter to nearly the end of the 3rd.

With all of Terrace’s scoring and lock down defense coming into play, the rest of the season looks to be an exciting one indeed.

Shannon said his expectations are “to get to the Tacoma Dome for sure. I haven’t been able to yet, and I feel we have the pieces here to do it.”

There is a lot of hype around this year’s team, as they were ranked No. 1 in the WESCO 3A division in the high school fall league, going undefeated, with a solid core made up of Shannon, Armstead, and fellow returning junior guard Blake Fernandez. All three finished with double digit points Tuesday, which is a good sign as they will have to help carry this team to the postseason, along with senior post Coby Russell, who did not play Tuesday night.

Sood said, “This game is all about assessing where we’re at. You want to see us go against another team so you can sit down afterwards and see where you need to get better.” From the looks of this game, this will be an elite team by the end of the year. There is enough depth and talent to compete with anybody in the state.

Men’s Basketball: Hawks move to 4-0 with win over Shorecrest, 60-36

AnhViet Nguyen — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 06:20:10 +0000

Another win means another step forward on the road to the Tacoma Dome.

The Mountlake Terrace men’s basketball team (4-0, 3-0 WesCo 3A) overwhelmed Shorecrest (1-2, 1-1 WesCo 3A) 60-36 in front of a pink-clad crowd on Friday night in the Terraceum.

Sophomore Greg Bowman had 12 points and 10 rebounds and senior Coby Russell added 12 points and 7 rebounds to lead the Hawks to another double-digit win.

“It feels awesome, the crowd is great, it feels great to be on the court, it’s a lot of fun,” Bowman said of his experience so far this season.

The Hawks used its size advantage to open the game with an early 9-1 lead and never looked back. Terrace led throughout the game.

Senior forward Emmanuel Chibuogwu, Jr. led Shorecrest with 11 points but struggled to find contributions from his teammates. Chibuogwu entered the game averaging 19.0 points per game. Terrace junior Marquis Armstead played solid defense on Chibuogwu all night, despite fouling out in the fourth quarter.

The Scots were unable to find solid guard play to help Chibuogwu and could not stop Terrace’s interior offense.

Terrace senior Ryan Shannon struggled to find his shot but finished the game with five points and seven rebounds, and another play to add to the highlight reel.

With the clock winding down in the third quarter, junior guard Jesse Zerom drove to the hoop and dished the ball off to Shannon, who finished the play with an emphatic dunk. Zerom had seven points and eight assists.

“Not concerned about getting mine, but getting theirs. Just getting everyone involved, basically,” Zerom said of his role as a point guard.

With contributions from all members on the team and another convincing victory, Terrace looks to be a front runner in WesCo 3A. Seven players chipped in at least five points.

“You don’t have to feel pressured to do anything. Everybody can do anything they want,” Bowman said.

Zerom added, “Down the road, I’m looking at the district tournament. Whoever is there, that’s who we’re looking at.”

Until teams can figure out how to get past Terrace’s stifling defense and figure out which Hawk to stop, the road to the T-Dome might become even clearer.

Next up:

Tuesday, Dec. 13: Mountlake Terrace vs. Shorewood at the Terraceum, 7:15 p.m.

Key stats:

Jesse Zerom: 7 points, 8 assists, 2 steals, 3/4 field goals

Blake Fernandez: 9 points, 2 assists, 4/10 field goals

Ryan Shannon: 5 points, 7 rebounds

Greg Bowman: 12 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 6/13 field goals

Coby Russell: 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 6/7 field goals
