Both the Mount Si boys and girls basketball teams will play in the semi-finals of the KingCo/Wesco District Tournament on Thursday, Feb. 14. Winning would guarantee both teams advance to the state tournament.

After being named KingCo League Champs and getting a first round-bye in the district tournament, the boys team notched a 74-54 win over Lake Stevens to advance to Thursday’s semi-final.

The number 1-seed Wildcats will play 5-seed Mariner High School in the semis. The game is scheduled 7 p.m at Mount Si High School.
