CDN is continuing its partnership with local credit union WECU to feature seven winter high school girls basketball games in a Game of the Week format. WECU organizes spirit competitions, a spin wheel and a pop-up treat table.
The partnership started in August with boys football games.
Starting next week, CDN will provide print and visual coverage of the WECU/CDN Game of the Week, including a preview, game coverage and social media posts. The games will be played between schools in Whatcom and Skagit counties.
It’s a fun, participatory program that includes donations by WECU to student body associations for schools that win student-section spirit competitions — a benefit to student activities beyond just athletics.
The seven games selected are listed below:
Dec. 13 – Mount Vernon at Anacortes
Dec. 20 – Ferndale at Lynden
Jan. 13 – Meridian at Nooksack Valley
Jan. 24 – Nooksack Valley at Lynden Christian
Jan. 28 – Squalicum at Bellingham
Jan. 31 – Sedro-Woolley at Burlington-Edison
Feb. 5 – Sehome at Squalicum
