Filed under HawkSquawk Sports Commentary, Sports
Despite the playoff atmosphere that was clearly felt in the Terraceum on Wednesday night against the Stanwood Spartans, the women's Hawks basketball team stayed true to themselves and played the same type of game which they had all year long. That meant a stifling, physical defense and a high tempo offense. It...

Apparently two different Mountlake Terrace teams showed up to Tuesday's first round 3A district matchup against the Ferndale Golden Eagles. While the final score of 70-46 showed a dominant Terrace team just simply outplaying a talented but young Ferndale squad, at the end of the first half the H...

The scoreboard read six minutes left in the fourth quarter Edmonds-Woodway Warriors 60, Mountlake Terrace 40. Coach Zach Wilde is visibly upset at the officiating late in the game.

Filed under HawkSquawk Sports Commentary, Sports
Last year the Hawks' girls' basketball team opened their season 1-8. Last year the Hawks didn't have Coach Zach Wilde. Last year the Hawks didn't play such a crisp, clean offense and swarming, stifling defense. Thursday's 52-26 clear defeat of the Sultan Lady Turks, along with their 65-46 rout of Cascade on Wednesday sends a...
