A legendary Seahawks coach fell short of making the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Mike Holmgren didn’t get the 80% support needed to be voted into the Hall of Fame last night.

He trails only Pete Carroll for most wins by a Seahawks head coach.

Four players made it into the Hall including Antonio Gates, Jared Allen, Eric Allen and Sterling Sharpe.

That made it the smallest induction class in 20 years following offseason rule changes that made it harder to get voted in.

 

The Kraken couldn’t come back from an early hole and fell to the Maple Leafs 3-1 last night.

Toronto opened up with two goals in the first period and entered the third with a 3-0 lead.

Eeli Tolvanen scored Seattle’s lone goal in the third period, but they couldn’t complete the rally and lost their third straight game.

The Kraken wrapped up their rough homestand with a 1-4 record.

They’re back tomorrow night when they travel to face the Calgary Flames.

Coverage begins at 6:30 and puck drops at 7:00 on KGMI.

 

The red-hot Western Washington University men are the talk of the region.

The Viks beat Montana State Billings 94-74 last night for their seventh straight win.

The team was nearly unstoppable on offense in the second half, putting up a season-high 62 points while shooting 70% from the field.

Former Sehome standout Grant Kepley paced the team with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists to help the winning effort.

Western now sits at fifth place in the GNAC standings after starting out 0-5 against conference opponents.

They’ll look to win their eighth straight tomorrow night when they host Seattle Pacific.

That game tips off at 7:00 from Carver Gym.

Meanwhile, the Western women couldn’t keep their three-game win streak up.

They lost to Central Washington 74-63. 

The Lady Viks are back on the road tomorrow night against Northwest Nazarene.

 

We’ve got a great doubleheader on the radio for you tonight.

Bellingham and Meridian are wrapping up their regular seasons with a pair of games at Meridian High School.

The boys take the court first with a 5:25 pregame show and 5:40 tip on KPUG.

The girls tip off at 7:15, with Dan Kaemingk and Randy Farmer on the call for both.

 

Elsewhere in the county tonight…

The Lynden boys and girls each host Nooksack Valley.

The Ferndale boys and girls each host Mount Baker.

The Squalicum boys and girls each host Oak Harbor.

The Lummi boys host Concrete.

And the Blaine boys and girls are both traveling to face Mount Vernon.
