Sweat, grit, and talent converged on the gym floor at Shorecrest High School Wednesday night for The Clash on the Court.

Dori and Governor Inslee and their all-star basketball teams went head to head for two 15 minute halves.

710 ESPN Seattle’s Groz and KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross called the game and fans eager to see a mix of talk show hosts, local athletes, coaches, politicians, and a reporter cheered them on!

Dori’s team lost by one lousy point: 58-57.

Then it was time for Dori to avenge the loss in a one-on-one game against the governor. Dori had an age advantage, but the governor is easily six inches taller. Dori took the win: 20-12.

What a night! And all to benefit Food Lifeline and Sports in Schools.

Watch the game recap:
