The Seattle Swagger captures thrilling win against rival Loyal Heights team
Ballard News Tribune - By Coach Rob Mathison In a thrilling game between local competitors that saw two overtimes, clutch free throw shooting and dramatic drives to the hoop, the Seattle Swagger earned their first victory of the season last Saturday against their rival, the 13-year-old Loyal Heights Boys Basketball Team. After jumping out to an early 5-0 lead on a steal and lay-up by Antonio Diaz-Mitchell and a long three-pointer by Josh Brown, the Swagger surrendered their lead to free throws before the two teams leap-frogged each other for most of the game. GA_googleAddSlot("ca-pub-4956332358238235", "ballard_story_text_region_slot_1");GA_googleFillSlot("ballard_story_text_region_slot_1"); During regulation play, Diaz-Mitchell poured in 16 points and Michael Scherrer had a key blocked shot on a layup, but their heroics were matched by sparkling drives to the basket and well-executed back-door cuts by the rival Loyal Heights team. The Swagger were up 21-19 until two clutch free throws tied the game with 23 seconds to go, sending the crowd into a frenzy as both teams tried desperately but fruitlessly in the final seconds for a game-winning score. Diaz-Mitchell scored four clutch points in overtime play to lead the Swagger, but it was not until Robert Mathison threaded a heavily-defended inbounds pass to a cutting Michael Johnson with 3.2 seconds to play in the second overtime that the victory was sealed, 25-23. Just as important as the victory was the improvement shown by the Swagger in their fourth game of the season. "We continue to come together as a team," said assistant coach Jason Scherrer. "We are learning how to play together, learning what each other's strengths are and getting better and better." The Swagger will not have long to wait for their next test, as they play an undefeated Yesler team this Saturday at 11:45 AM at Broadview.

Beavers basketball win one, lose one against Issaquah
Ballard News Tribune - The Beavers were on the road last night against Issaquah for their second to last game of the regular season. The lady Beavers suffered a big loss as Issaquah outscored them 60 to 30. Starting in the first quarter, Issaquah was strong on the offense but even better on the defense, allowing the Beavers only five points while scoring 13 themselves. This continued to the remainder of the game and at halftime, the Lady Beavers were trailing by 13 points. Issaquah steadily build on their lead while the Beavers struggled to make a comeback. GA_googleAddSlot("ca-pub-4956332358238235", "ballard_story_text_region_slot_1");GA_googleFillSlot("ballard_story_text_region_slot_1"); Beverly Verduin netted eight points and Nancy MacGeorge did her part in helping the team by scoring seven points. Currently tied with Garfield for fourth place, Ballard has one shot left to make the playoffs but only if Garfield loses their remaining two games and Ballard wins against Bothell on Saturday. The boys basketball team played a very tight and exciting game. Getting a four-point lead in the first quarter, the Beavers were still in the lead at halftime with a score of 40 to 35. The Beavers stayed in the lead during the third quarter but in the final quarter, Issaquah came awfully close. But Ballard stepped up the defense and won 67 to 65. Johnny Verduin led the Ballard team in scoring with 25 points, four rebounds, two steals, and four assists. Senior Luke Beutjer also had a good game, scoring 12 points and making five rebounds. The boys team is in playoffs right now. If they win against Bothell on Saturday, they will be the third seed team and play at Redmond in the first playoff game next Tuesday. If they lose to Bothell they will be the fourth seed and play at Skyline on Tuesday night. The Beavers play their last regular season games on Saturday at Bothell. Girls play at 4 p.m., boys at 5:30.

Police Blotter: Drive-by shooting suspect arrested; burglars caught on tape and arrested
Ballard News Tribune - By Cassandra Baker, Intern 4:45 a.m. on February 1st. 34th block of Evanston Ave N Two suspects were arrested for burglarizing a construction site on the morning of February 1st. An alarm company called Seattle Police at 4:45 a.m. to report that their video feed showed two suspects burglarizing an office at the construction site. The responding officer found the two adult male suspects leaving the area and detained them until the alarm company representative made a positive identification. GA_googleAddSlot("ca-pub-4956332358238235", "ballard_story_text_region_slot_1");GA_googleFillSlot("ballard_story_text_region_slot_1"); Officers later determined the description of the suspects' vehicle. During an area search they found the vehicle with stolen property inside, and the vehicle was impounded. One of the suspects has a history of property crimes. The suspects were later booked in King County Jail on burglary charges. 4:30 a.m. on February 1st. 43rd block of 5th Ave NW Several people reported hearing 6-8 gunshots during a drive-by shooting in a Ballard neighborhood on the morning of February 1st. When police responded to the scene, one of the callers gave them a description of the suspected vehicle and its driver. The witness said he had seen the same vehicle and driver in the area a few days ago. The responding officer found multiple bullet holes in a car parked in front of the witness's address and recovered bullets and shell casings. There was no damage to any residences, and no one was injured in the shooting. Police determined the address of the man who owned the suspicious vehicle, and they found the car sitting in front of the suspect's residence with a shell casing visible inside. Another vehicle left the house during the surveillance, and officers stopped it. The driver was a male matching the description of the suspect.

Norwegian reality TV show reunites Ballardite with famous Norwegian relative
Ballard News Tribune - At the end of last year, Norwegian reality TV hosts, Thomas Gullestad and Esben Selvig, traveled across America in search of Norwegian heritage for their new show, Uncle America. Specifically, they were tracking down Americans who are related to Norwegian immigrants and modern Norwegian celebrities. And of course it was during their stop in Seattle that they found what they were looking for. In addition to finding a cult group that still worship the Norse god Odin, the TV show producers also found a Ballardite with lineage to a very powerful Norwegian. GA_googleAddSlot("ca-pub-4956332358238235", "ballard_story_text_region_slot_1");GA_googleFillSlot("ballard_story_text_region_slot_1"); After months of researching the Elster family heritage, Ballard High School graduate Christoff Elster received a phone call inviting him to participate in the reality TV show. Elster, a former Ballard High and UW Cheer Captain, and current head coach of the Co-ed UW Cheer Squad, is not shy in front of a camera and agreed to go on the adventure. The jetlag had barely faded when the BNT spoke with Elster about his whirlwind trip to Norway and meeting his famous distant relative. "It was very weird," Elster said. "The producers first contacted my family in June about some geneology thing but I didn't really know what it was about." Then in late December Elster received a Saturday morning phone call asking him to participate in a Norwegian TV show. Shortly thereafter a film grew showed up to film him at a UW cheer practice and brought along a life-size cutout picture of his famous relative. "As it turns out, I'm related to the Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg," Elster said. Elster said he has never been interested in his distant Norwegian heritage and had never even crossed the Atlantic before. But before he knew it, he was on a plane to Norway, accompanied by his brother Gavin, to meet their distant Norwegian relative, Prime Minister Stoltenberg. "The whole trip was very quick," Elster said. "I was gone for only four days and [the prime was super busy so we met for maybe five minutes." Elster said finding a relative to the Norwegian prime minister was a big deal for the production company. "Most of the show is about the search for us and about Norwegian-American geneology but also to feature the unusual, quirky things to do in each city," Elster said. "Being able to do a meeting with the prime minister really was the icing on the cake for them." The show will air only in Norway and Elster said he didn't even have time to pose for a picture with Stoltenberg. "Overall it was kind of a fun experience," said Elster.
