Cardinals reach early season goal at break

The Medical Lake boys team closed out the 2015 portion of their basketball season with a check mark on one of its major goals for the season.

The Cardinals scored a pair of easy wins 66-34 over Chewelah Dec. 15 and 68-40 at Deer Park Dec. 18 and ran their Northeast A League record to 3-0. Between those two games, Northwest Christian picked up an easy nonleague victory 76-56 Dec. 16.

"Our focus is league games so we're happy to take care of that," Medical Lake head coach Arnold Brown said. "It was a great way to go into our break." The Cardinals head to the Christmas break with a 4-2 record.
