Prior to the start of the Shasta Cascade League basketball season, SiskiyouYouth.com and The Intermountain News conducted an SCL coaches’ poll. Here’s how the poll compares to the actual SCL standings at the end of the season.

Boys Poll

In the boys poll. it was Weed that exceeded expectations, finishing in a tie for the title with favored Mt. Shasta. I had picked Mt. Shasta 1st, Trinity 2nd, Etna 3rd, and Weed 4th, same as the coaches–didn’t see Fall River being as strong, and didn’t expect Weed to be as strong. (more…)

No one ever said winning a league title was easy, so it was only fitting that the Mount Shasta Lady Bears had to claw and scratch their way to a share of the Shasta Cascade League title Friday night in Weed. The Bears earned a 36-30 win over the host Cougars, clinching their part of a three-way tie atop the SCL with Etna and Fall River.

The first half was ugly for both teams – particularly the Bears – who didn’t even manage a FG until late in the 2nd quarter against a tough Weed defense. Weed got the scoring started on a basket by Nicolette Neel just over two minutes into the game, and Sierra Skeen added a bucket a short time later for a 4-0 Cougar lead. Mount Shasta’s only points of the period followed – one free throw from Kismet Prosper, then two for Taylor Hansen. (more…)
