Bellingham 1, Lynden 0
The Bayhawks pulled off one of the most improbable runs in recent playoff history, and finished it off by defeating the top-ranked Lions in a shootout to move on to the 2A state tournament.
Bellingham began the district tournament with a loss to Burlington-Edison on Halloween night, which meant four wins were needed in a week’s time. Four wins was what the Bayhawks accomplished.
For their final one, it took a gigantic effort after neither Bellingham or Lynden scored in regulation or the overtime periods, which forced a shootout.
Gracie Gouran, Ivy Newell, Kira Carlson, Ella Morrow and Sloan Mahn all made their shots to keep up with the Lions, and when Ruby Brown hit her shot, it sent the Bayhawks to the 2A state tournament.
