Magnolia Community Center's Canadian Muchachos 10-year-old girls' basketball team clinched their divisional title on March 10 with an exciting 20-18 victory over the Hiawatha Community Center Eagles on the latter's home court in West Seattle.
Both teams entered this final game of the regular season with a 6-1 record.
Magnolia led the entire game, beginning the fourth quarter with an 18-12 advantage. The tenacious Eagles whittled the lead down to one basket with approximately one minute left in regulation. The Canadian Muchachos' swarming defense, however, was able to hold off the Eagles' final push.
The next stop for this Magnolia team is the Seattle Parks Department citywide tournament beginning March 17 and ending March 24, which includes all three 10-year-old girls divisions. Magnolia earned a first-round bye, due to their first-place divisional finish.
The team is led by head coach Todd Hyatt and assistant coach Dave Reuter. The team's roster is: Madeline Blue, Hana Broadbent, Miki Cole, Cali Carucci, Anna Gilbert, Tristan Harris, Isabelle Hyatt, Nancy MacGeorge, Maggie Miller, Makara Montes and Allegra Quiban.[[In-content Ad]]
