The Cardinal Men's Basketball team had a tremendous run in the 39^th Annual Skagit Valley College Turkey Tournament this weekend and came away with the Championship trophy with a win over perennial powerhouse Tacoma Community College.

Skagit then came back to take the lead with 5 minutes remaining and won it again with another 3 as time expired, this time by Dalton Daniels, to give Skagit a 2 point victory. In the Championship game it was another hard fought battle as it again came down to the final seconds with Skagit holding on to a 3-point win over the Titans.
