The Edmonds-Woodway and Meadowdale boys basketball teams renewed their annual crosstown rivalry Saturday afternoon in The Stable at Meadowdale High School. The Warriors emerged victorious with a 16-point win, 57-41.

After a sluggish start that saw them trailing midway through the first quarter, the Warriors righted their ship and finished the period with an eight-point lead, 21-13.  Their perimeter defense allowed them to control the game the remainder of the way for the double-digit win.

Adonai Daniel led Edmonds-Woodway with 18 points, 13 of them coming in the first half. Jacob Gabler added 11 of his own. Sophomore guard Ben Hanson had nine points, coming via three 3-pointers, while also playing tenacious defense.

Leo Baquian led Meadowdale with 10, while Aiden Bloomquist pitched in nine.

The Warriors will be back in action on Tuesday, June 8, hosting Shorecrest at Edmonds-Woodway High School.

The Mavericks will continue their quest for their first win of the season when they travel to Shorewood High Tuesday, June 8 to face the Thunderbirds.
