Meadowdale defeated Stanwood 60-59
Senior Kyairra Roussin hit a miraculous game-winning 3-point shot at the buzzer and the Meadowdale Mavericks defeated the Stanwood Spartans 60-59 at home Friday night in the battle of first-place teams in the Wesco 3A division crossover game. Trailing by two points with five seconds remaining, the Mavericks inbounded the ball to Roussin in the backcourt. Roussin drove up the court, cut to her left and launched the winning shot from around 10 feet behind the 3-point line.
The game was a Wesco crossover matchup, created by the Wesco conference before the start of the year to conclude the regular season. The crossover games match up the top four teams in the Wesco 3A South Division against the Wesco 3A North Division. The two first-place teams playing one another as do the second-, third- and fourth-place teams. All eight teams have already qualified for the 12-team District playoff tournament that begins next week. The intent is to allow a seeding committee to factor in the outcomes of the crossover games to seed the teams accordingly in the tournament, since the two divisions do not play each other during the regular season. The committee will meet Monday night to seed the teams and set the tournament brackets.
It was believed before the game that the committee would have a tough decision seeding Meadowdale, Stanwood and Snohomish. (Stanwood and Snohomish split their two head-to-head matchups during the regular season and finished tied for first place in the Wesco 3A Division, with Stanwood getting the nod for the crossover matchup based on a random draw.) All three teams appear to be evenly matched and are considered to be the three favorites going into the tournament.
The Meadowdale victory should give the Mavs the inside track on that highly coveted top-seed in the tournament, which would allow them to avoid having to play Stanwood or Snohomish until the District Championship game if everything plays out as many are projecting.
Meadowdale’s next game will be played at home at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14 in the District quarterfinals. The opponent won’t be known until next week.
