Which middle school team is that?

Kind of funny because when Junior hit Middle School at South Shore I wondered why in the fuck they didn't have a football team. Junior high was my glory days. We had to pay to play junior football.

Beach was all basketball then, Looks like it still is.

and track. I am one of the normal guys that graduated from RB. Track and Bassetball. My nephew played BB at Mt Vernon when they beat RB at BB for state.

That Mt.. Vernon team imo is the greatest HS team to ever come out of Washington. Watch that game on FSN if I recall.

Woolley high grad and that Mt. Vernon team was in my league when I was fr. in high school. Incredible to watch. If I remember correctly they didn’t lose a single game, only one team got within single digits all seasons and it was a 9 point win and they blew out the 4A champ too. I think they lost the state title in OT the year before too. Coolest part was them being from a place like Skagit County too and they were I like the Globetrotter packing every gym everywhere they played to win by 30. Was bummed their two best players didn’t pan out at Gonzaga. Would have been fun.

Yeah. They lost to Seattle Prep that had Erik Bond and Jeffrey Day. That game was at Key Arena. They beat them the next year. I think they went 27-0. The team was players from that area which was cool. I live next to Nathan Hale and everybody says the Michael Porter team that also went undefeated is the best team ever. That team was probably ~75% transfers. It was AAU with Brandon Roy coaching. Fun to watch but I like Mt. Vernon if they played.

Porter would hang 40-50 on any team in the history of Washington high school basketball if he wanted. It sounds nice to think Mt. Vernon or Sehome had the better team, but they didn’t.

The Porter bros, PJ Fuller, and whoever else Nathan Hale had would absolutely roll those teams.

I am fairly confident Mt. Vernon wins by 10+. I went to half dozen of those Hale games and they didn't play much defense and on multiple occasions were stuck by 6-8 pts in the first half against inferior teams. Mt. Vernon had 3-4 D1 kids and played ultimate team basketball. I am not so sure Hale beats the '02 Rainier Beach squad that had a Sr Nate Robinson and the Stewart twins.
