May 29—BURLINGTON — The Burlington-Edison High School girls' basketball team had four players score in double figures Friday on the way to beating Anacortes 68-37.

Gabriella MacKenzie finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds, Amey Rainaud scored 15 points, Sydney Reisner had 14 and Miranda Maskell added 13.
