SCC’s men’s basketball team finished out their season with a Feb 23 loss to Whatcom Community College (WCC) and a sixth place finish in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) North Division.

SCC fell behind early in the 101-77 loss to WCC, trailing by a 58-28 count at halftime. Parys Fox led the Dolphins with 28 points on 12/18 shooting and JaRon Brown added 13 points in the sophomore duo’s final game for SCC.

The team was officially eliminated from playoff contention on Feb 18 when Bellevue Community College (BCC) defeated Skagit Valley Community College 94-67. Bellevue’s victory put Shoreline three games behind BCC for the fourth and final playoff spot in the NWAACC North division with, at the time, only two games remaining on the schedule. Prior to BCC’s win, Shoreline’s playoff hopes were resting on BCC losing its final three division games and SCC winning its remaining three contests.

SCC finishes the 2007-08 season sixth in the NWAACC North division with a 15-13 overall record and a 7-9 division record – five games removed from fourth place in the division and a playoff berth. SCC also missed the playoffs in the 2006-07 campaign, going 8-8 in the division and 13-14 overall.
