Wonder how much of a difference Mark McLaughlin, the well-traveled, sometimes troubled basketball player from Bothell, would have made to the Washington Huskies if he’d decided to stay in Seattle and play for coach Lorenzo Romar and the Dawgs this season.
The 6-foot-6 McLaughlin was recently named MVP of the Great Northwest Conference. This story by Roger Underwood, the former Sun staffer now working for the Yakima Herald, is a month old, but it sounds like McLaughlin’s found a home at Central Washington.
