Northwest Sports Update RIP Lenny Wilkens, Seahawks cruise to 4th straight, HS football state tourney schedule and more

Bellingham, WALocal News

Lenny Wilkens, a legendary figure in Seattle basketball, passed away yesterday at 88. A three-time Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, Wilkens made nine All-Star games and coached the Sonics to an NBA title in 1979. The Seahawks dominated their game against the Arizona Cardinals, winning 44-22 for their fourth consecutive victory, setting up a crucial showdown with the Rams next week. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's touchdown marked a milestone, making him the first Seahawks receiver to reach 1,000 yards this season. In high school sports, Blaine's girls soccer team celebrated a significant achievement, reaching the state tournament for the first time in 22 years after a win against Nooksack Valley.

The Lynden girls soccer team, however, saw their season end with a loss to Selah. Additionally, six Whatcom County high school football teams advanced to the state tournament following the Week 10 play-in round. The local sports scene remains vibrant as teams gear up for critical matchups in the coming days.
