As the season winds to a close, the playoff picture for the men's season is becoming clearer as time progresses and the women's becomes foggier.
The Shoreline Community College men's basketball team is sitting two games shy of first place and two games ahead of fourth place Whatcom Community College. The week of Feb. 13 Shoreline will battle Peninsula and Bellevue in what promise to be big games in determing the final seeding picture for the north division.
