Friday Harbor Tigers boys basketball team placed second in the 6th grade 'C' division of the S.W.I.S.H. Basketball tournament Saturday, March 10, losing in a single-point game to Granite Falls; final score 19-18. The team, sponsored by the Friday Harbor Athletic Association, placed fourth in regular season play with a record of five wins, four losses.

Coach Stephen Glass was very pleased the team’s performance throughout the season and during the tournament. "At the beginning of the season, I placed the team in a tougher division in order to increase their level of play," said Coach Glass. "And it was great to watch the boys improve with every game. We went into the last two weeks of the season in a four-way tie for first. We had just five players those last games and lost against 10- and 12-man teams. So, while we finished a very respectable fourth in regular season, I am confident that every team we played in this league we had a real shot of beating. I am very proud of the boys and they should feel proud of their performance."

Players’ parents, friends, family and the Friday Harbor Athletic Association are equally pleased with the great season the boys delivered. A quote from one parent sums it up for all, “What fun they were to watch!” As for the Players, they now have their sights set on next year. Kaleb Warner, the team’s point guard and wingman, said, “Most of us are 5th graders, so next year a lot of us will be playing again. And we want to win the big trophy!”
