SLIDESHOW: Evergreen takes one from Highline, 56-38

The Highline Pirate’s boys’ basketball team visited the Evergreen Wolverines for a Seamount Conference game Friday night. The teams came into the game with almost opposite conference records; Evergreen had a record of 9-2, while Highline was 1-9.

From the start both teams looked good, running their plays, getting good shots, rebounding and playing tough defense. At the end of the 1st quarter the wolverines led by 4 points. In the second quarter things were much the same with Evergreen still leading by only 4 points, 21-25.

The second half is when things came undone for Highline as Evergreen’s coach Tony White had his team playing more aggressive, it was almost like two different games. They put on a full court press that caused havoc for Highline which caused turnovers and easy baskets for Evergreen. Highline just wasn’t able to figure it out as they passed the ball from side to side, getting double teamed, and having problems advancing the ball up court.
