As fall approaches its end, winter sports are readying themselves for a busy season. Bellevue College men’s basketball team is no exception, as they are entering the upcoming season with high hopes.
Last year, the team made it to the final game of the Sweet 16 at the 2025 NWAC Men’s Basketball Championship at Columbia Basin College, and, in 2023, Bellevue captured an NWAC championship.
With strong leadership and returning talent, the Bulldogs aim to build on recent success and push even further in pursuit of another championship run.
Currently, Marcus Fermon is running the team as head coach for the second year. Alongside him is Antonio Foster, who is entering his 10th season with the team as assistant coach.
In terms of the team roster, there are some familiar faces, including Isaiah White and Sawyer Cottrell, who both earned All-Region honors last season. New recruits are expected to make an immediate impact and add depth to an already competitive lineup.
The upcoming men’s basketball game schedule shows many home games with several opportunities for Bellevue College students to show up and cheer on the team.
Bellevue will play a full NWAC North Region slate, facing teams like Edmonds, Skagit Valley, Whatcom, Peninsula, Olympic, Shoreline and Everett. NWAC first and second rounds of playoffs are slated for March 4–6, with the Final Four on March 14–15. Both games will be played at Columbia Basin College in Pasco.
